As per my understanding & experience, promoter category is selected when any one proposed to be appointed belongs to the family of those whose names r appearing in MOA &AOA..ideally said to hve subscribed MOA & AOA .
Independent category is other than promoters and shud be non executive.such person shud not be connected in any ways as mentioned under the defination of ID in clause 49..Pvt co cn appoint independent director but its not mandated by the Act.
Professional category can be used for promoter group and non promoter group as well. It is generally used for taking the benefit of remuneration as restrictions under sec 269,198, sch XIII,etc r not applicable to technical directors possessing technical/professional qualification.
others views welcomed.
