The term 'proviso' in law refers to a clause that carves out an exception to a main section. Specifically, the second proviso to Section 149(1) of the Companies Act 2013 mandates that certain prescribed companies must appoint at least one woman director. This provision acts as an exception to the general rules concerning director appointments.
Dear Mr Hitesh,
This is an academic query however this time I ll answer it. 'Proviso' is a provision of law which carves out an exception to the main section. For Eg:- Section 149 of Companies Act 2013, is a section relating to appointment of directors. 2nd proviso to section 149(1) states that prescribed companies shall appoint atleast 1 woman director.
I hope you have understood.
