Relaxation on Minimum Residency Requirement for Directors of a Company

On account of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) had previously issued a Circular dated March 24, 2020 waiving the requirement of having at least one director of every company stay in India for at least 182 days per Financial Year (under Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Companies Act’)) for the Financial Year 2019-20. Pursuant to a Circular dated October 20, 2020, such relaxation has been extended to Financial Year 2020-21 as well.
