Minister of state for Finance Jayant Sinha today said there are 3,785 women directors in listed companies of the country as on July 27th. Replying to supplementaries in the Lok Sabha, Mr Sinha said the government has not issued any directive to Securities and Exchange Board of India to ensure appointment of women directors on the companies boards. He, however, said the Companies Act 2013 provides that every listed company having paid up share capital of 100 crore rupees or more or turnover of 300 crore rupees or more, shall appoint at least one women director.
