is to periodically identify competency gaps in the Board, evaluate
potential candidates as per the criteria stated above, ascertain their
availability and make suitable recommendation to the Board.
In selecting a suitable candidate as an independent director the N&RC
will also look into the data bank that is proposed to be set up
pursuant to the provisions of Section 150 of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder.
The N&RC shall also identify suitable candidates in the event of
resignation, retirement or demise of an existing Board member. Based on
the recommendation of the N & RC, the Board through its Chairman/ N&RC
will then invite the prospective person to join the Board as a
director.
In case the shareholders recommend any person as a director pursuant to
the provisions of Section 151 of the Act and the Rules made thereunder,
the N&RC shall consider that candidate and make suitable recommendation
to the Board. The procedure pertaining to appointment of small
shareholders' director laid down in Rule 7 of the Companies
