What is specific to US companies
Few US executives spend 182 days a year in India, so US parents usually appoint an Indian employee or a professional resident director. A US citizen who does relocate and meets the test becomes Indian resident but stays taxable in the US on worldwide income, so the move needs planning in both countries.

Questions
Is the resident director personally liable?
Directors can be liable for specified defaults under company, tax and other laws, so mandates, indemnities and insurance should be in place.
