The Board may, subject to such conditions or restrictions as it thinks fit, delegate to any such committee or the Chairman or the Executive Director any of the powers, functions and duties by this Act vested in the Board, and any power, function or duty as delegated may be exercised or performed by such committee or the Chairman or the Executive Director, as the case may be, in the name and on behalf of the Board.

The Board may, subject to such conditions or restrictions as it thinks fit, delegate to any employee thereof all or any of the Board’s powers, functions and duties by this Act vested in the Board, and any power, function or duty so delegated may be exercised or performed by such employee in the name and on behalf of the Board.

The Board may continue to exercise any power conferred upon it, or perform any function or duty under this Act, notwithstanding the delegation of such power, function or duty under the provisions of this section.
