Independent directors are appointed for 5 years and can be re-appointed by passing a special resolution at general meeting for re appointing them for another 5 years.
They are not liable to retire by rotation.
For removing an independent director special notice is required to be provided by shareholder to call upon a meeting and then ordinary resolution should be passed for such removal. Opportunity of being heard is to be provided.
