Ans 1: If the chairman is non executive then atleast 1/3 of total no. of directors shall be independent directors.
If chairman is executive or non executive but relate to promoter category then atleast 1/2 of total no. of directors shall be independent directors.
Ans 2: The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be an independent director.
All members of audit committee shall be financially literate and at least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise.
Criminal lawer can't be chairman as he is not the director of the company. consultant can't be appted as chairman of audit committee meeting.
Ans: 3 Listed co. need to file coporate governance report within 15 days after the closure of quarter to the stock exchange where the shares of co. is listed.
However Annual Report of the co. should also contian a report on corporate governance.
And there is no need to file Corporate governance report to SEBI.
FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING PLS GO THROUGH WITH CLAUSE 49 OF LISTING AGREEMENT.

Dear Somnath,
As per Clause 49 of Listing Agreement, All members of audit committee shall be financially literate and at least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise.
"financially literate” means the ability to read and understand basic financial statements i.e. balance sheet, profit and loss account, and statement of cash flows.
Hence every audit committee member should be financial literate.
