The idea of Corporate Governance in India has outgrown an
oblivion existence and reached a crucial stage in light of the emerging
worldwide country specific trends and the Companies Bill 2011. The Companies
Bill 2011 along with other fundamental changes in India’s Corporate Law
jurisprudence seeks to define a Director’s office, responsibilities, and his
work in a much more comprehensive manner than ever before. The Bill has further
incorporated a varied approach towards governance especially by including
specific provisions for director’s remuneration; reservation on board for women
directors; duties of directors and by discussing the role and scope of
Independent Directors in a greater detail. E-governance and Annual Reports have
also been recognized and institutionalized. Also, in light of the proposed
General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) the connection between tax and governance
has come to the forefront in India.
