He cannot take part in direct working of the company rather he can be only like a consultant.

He can very well be a director of a private limited company / public limited company. But he should not be an M.D., or a whole-time director drawing salary. He can only be in the Board and do any work as a director and also give professional advice and take fees / expenses for that.

Rule 48 of Part VI, Chapter II, Section VII of the Bar Council of India Rules:

"48. An advocate may be Director or Chairman of the Board of Directors of a company with or without any ordinarily sitting fee, provided none of his duties are of an executive character. An advocate shall not be a Managing Director or a Secretary of any company."

Illustration II to Rule 9:

II. He should not accept a brief from a company of which he is a Director.
