Question & Answer (English)

What is the minimum percentage of independent members required on the Board of Directors for an SRO?

  1. One-fourth
  2. One-third — Correct Answer
  3. One-half
  4. Two-thirds
Explanation:
Correct Answer Explanation

The governance framework for a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) mandates a specific composition for its Board of Directors to ensure impartiality and good governance. A key requirement is that at least one-third (approximately 33.33%) of the board members must be independent. This rule also applies to the Chairperson of the board. This structure helps prevent conflicts of interest and ensures the SRO acts in the best interest of the industry it regulates.

Incorrect Options Analysis
  • One-fourth: This percentage is less than the required minimum and would not meet the established governance standards for an SRO.
  • One-half: This represents a higher standard (50%) than what is currently mandated by the framework.
  • Two-thirds: This represents a supermajority (approximately 66.67%) and is significantly higher than the required one-third.

प्रश्न एवं उत्तर (हिंदी)

एक SRO के निदेशक मंडल में स्वतंत्र सदस्यों का न्यूनतम प्रतिशत कितना होना आवश्यक है?

  1. एक-चौथाई
  2. एक-तिहाई — सही उत्तर
  3. आधा
  4. दो-तिहाई
स्पष्टीकरण:
सही उत्तर की व्याख्या

एक स्व-नियामक संगठन (Self-Regulatory Organisation - SRO) के लिए बनाए गए शासन ढांचे (governance framework) के अनुसार, यह अनिवार्य है कि उसके निदेशक मंडल (Board of Directors) के कम से कम एक-तिहाई सदस्य स्वतंत्र (independent) होने चाहिए। इसमें अध्यक्ष (Chairperson) भी शामिल हैं। यह नियम सुशासन और निष्पक्षता सुनिश्चित करने में मदद करता है और हितों के टकराव को रोकता है।

गलत विकल्पों का विश्लेषण
  • एक-चौथाई: यह आवश्यक न्यूनतम प्रतिशत से कम है और SRO के लिए निर्धारित शासन मानकों को पूरा नहीं करेगा।
  • आधा: यह 50% का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है, जो वर्तमान में अनिवार्य सीमा से अधिक है।
  • दो-तिहाई: यह लगभग 66.67% है, जो आवश्यक एक-तिहाई से बहुत अधिक है।
