29 April 2009 as per section 7 deemed director is a person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the board of directors of a company is accustomed to act, by reason only that the board acts on advice given by him in a professional capacity.
The person is not an actual director(like other director ), however he is deemed to be a director only to impose restriction and prohibition on him.
A deemed director may an individual, a body corporate or other entity.
Deemed Director is called shadow director under English law
