Term 'Whole time Director is only explained in para explanation in Section 269 of the Companies ACt, 1956.
Thus it means Director who is in employment or who devotes his whole time in the management of the Company business unlike non executive director who may renders expert services to the Company.
Executive directors perform operational and strategic business functions such as:
managing people, looking after assets
hiring and firing, entering into contracts
Executive directors are usually employed by the company and paid a salary.
Non-executive directors use their experience and expertise to provide independent advice and objectivity, and they usually have a role in monitoring executive management. A non-executive director might be appointed to carry out a specialist role on a part-time basis or for their expertise in specific activities, such as strategy and contract negotiation.
They may be regarded as employed by the business or self-employed under a contract for services, depending on the terms and conditions of engagement. They usually work part time, attending board meetings and spending time on specific projects.
Non-executive directors bring an objective view of the business, can improve the board's effectiveness at relatively low cost and provide valuable business connections.
