Bhai, I think the Companies Act's provision on directors' conflict of interest is quite strict. If a director has a personal interest that may influence their decision-making, they should either recuse themselves or disclose it to the board. It's not just about financial interests, but also any relationship that could impact their impartiality. Transparency is key here, yaar.
