Background & context
Independent-director remuneration can combine sitting fees, commission and other disclosed components.
Company-to-company comparisons should account for sector, board workload, committee assignments and the fiscal year.
The rules, explained
SEBI LODR — Regulation 19 (Nomination & Remuneration Committee)
SEBI LODR Reg. 19 · Companies Act s.178The NRC must comprise non-executive directors, at least half of them independent, and must be chaired by an independent director. It owns board succession, the search for new independent directors, the fit-and-proper assessment of appointees, and the remuneration policy for directors and senior management.
Why it matters: The NRC is the committee that decides who joins the board — and what they are paid.
SEBI LODR — Regulation 25 (Independent directors' obligations)
SEBI LODR Reg. 25 · Companies Act Sch. IVIndependent directors are bound by a code (Schedule IV), meet separately at least once a year without management present, and are subject to detailed resignation-disclosure and tenure rules. The largest listed companies must also carry directors-and-officers (D&O) insurance for them.
Why it matters: It defines what independence actually obliges a director to do.
