What is needed to appoint a director
Valid DIN
The incoming director must have a valid DIN — if not, we apply for DIR-3 KYC and obtain a DIN first.
DIR-2 Consent
Written consent to act as director signed by the incoming director before the board resolution is passed.
Not Disqualified
Director must not be disqualified under Section 164 — we verify DIN status on MCA before proceeding.
Board Resolution
Valid board resolution by existing directors appointing the new director as an additional director.
DIR-12 Within 30 Days
Form DIR-12 must be filed with the ROC within 30 days of the date of appointment — no exceptions.
AGM Regularisation
Additional director's term expires at the next AGM — regularisation resolution must be passed to continue.
An additional director holds office only until the next AGM. If the appointment is not regularised by shareholders at the AGM, the director vacates office. We track the AGM date and remind you in advance.
