10 Duties and Responsibility of Whole Time Directors under various other legislations The legal responsibilities of Managing Director/ Whole Time Directors/Directors vary with the nature of the organization, and with the jurisdiction within which it operates
11 Labour Laws - Managing Director/ Whole Time Director comes under the definition of employer under the labour laws hence he/ she will be responsible for the compliance necessary under the provisions of Labour Laws 1. Occupier under the Factories Act, 1948 Occupier comes under the definition responsible under section 7-A of the Factories Act for ensuring Health, Safety and Welfare of all workers. Under Sec. 2(n) of Factories Act, any one of the directors can be appointed as Occupier (by a resolution of BOD) who is having ultimate control over the affairs of the Company. Decision of SC Only Director of the Company can be appointed as an occupier of the factory not simply an officer or employee. 2. Similarly, Managing Director/ Whole Time Director responsible under other major laws, for e.g. as Employer under the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESI Act), Decision of SC It has been held that Managing Director/ Whole Time Director is prima facia incharge of and responsible for the Company s affairs and can be prosecuted under ESI Act. Director Appropriate Director may be nominated by the Board of Director of the Company to act as a Responsible Person. 3. Managing Director/ Whole Time Director is duty bound and responsible under other major laws, for e.g. EPF Act Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act etc.. To prosecute a Director, it should be shown that he was in charge of and was responsible for the conduct of the company s affairs.-
12 Responsibility under Other Acts and laws Pollution Laws Similarly, WTD/MD responsible under other major pollution related laws and Acts, for e.g. Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1947 Managing Director/Whole Time Director shall be responsible for all compliance of the company. - Manager of the site in not personally liable under the act because he could not be equated with a person who was managing in a governing role of the affairs of the company.

MD/WTD may also responsible/ liable in the capacity of a principal officer under the Income-tax Act for false verification of and income tax return.

13 The Mines Act, 1952, the Owner and agent of every mines shall each be responsible for making financial and other provision and for taking such other steps as may be necessary for compliance with the provision of this Act and regulations, rules, bye-laws and order made thereunder. Owner is defined in relation to a mine, means any person who is the immediate proprietor or lessee or occupier of the mine or of any part thereto. Apart from specific legislations, the Directors of reputed companies endeavour to follow basic principles of Good Corporate Governance. They understand that transparency and detailed disclosure of a Company s financial position and operation allow the investors to better assess the performance of the Board and management which in turn enable them to make informed corporate decisions.
14 Conclusion Ignorance of law is no excuse Legislation imposes numerous duties upon directors. The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company complies with all relevant legislations. Directors are presumed to know the law and it is immaterial whether the director had knowledge of the law or not. He is bound to know what the law is. It was decided in Calcutta Central Bank Limited that the Directors cannot divest themselves of their responsibilities by delegating the whole management to the Agent and abstaining from all enquiry; if the agent proves unfaithful under certain circumstances the directors cannot be absolved from all liabilities Before deciding to become a director of a company a person should make himself familiar with the Acts and laws applicable to the Company and liabilities of the director and penalties for wrongful acts.
