But further provided that the maximum number of public companies in which a person can be appointed as director shall not exceed 10.

In case of contravention to the maximum number of directorship, the person shall be punishable with fine which shall not be less than 5000 rupees but which may extend to 25000 rupees for every day after the first during which the contravention continues.

As a company is a separate legal entity and artificial legal person created by law which act only through the agency of natural persons / human beings. So, the company is managed by a body of persons who are called “Board of Directors”. So the Board of Directors means a group of those individuals who are elected by the shareholders of a company in order to manage the affairs of the company.
And “Director” is a person who is elected by the shareholders of a company in order to direct the company’s policies; the person appointed or elected according to rules & Regulations, or who are authorized to manage and direct the affairs of a company.
And Only an individual living person can be Director of a company. A body corporate, business entity or other company can not be appointed as Director of a company.
