Executive Director is one who is holding a position in the company i.e. on its rolls. He offers his service on full time basis to the company and gets in return remuneration in the form of salary, perquisites and commission, as may be approved by the members.
A non-executive director is one who is a part time director in common parlance. He is not on the rolls of the company and is offering his services as a director for sitting fees or any form of remuneration as may be approved by the members.
A whole-time director is a Director in the full time employment of the company and who is appointed and empowered as such a Director by the Board and members. The appointment of WTD is a specific appointment under section 269.
