Overview - adding removing directors Registration

What is it?

Adding or Removing Directors involves the formal appointment or cessation of a director in a company, with mandatory intimation to the ROC via Form DIR-12 within 30 days of the change. This is one of the most common post-incorporation changes and must be handled with precise documentation to protect both the company and the individual directors.

Forms involved

DIR-12 (Intimation to ROC of Appointment/Cessation) · DIR-2 (Consent to Act as Director) · DIR-8 (Declaration of Non-Disqualification) · DIR-11 (Director's own intimation of resignation, if company fails to file) · DIN application (if new director has no DIN).

Types of director change

Appointment of additional director · Appointment of managing director or whole-time director · Resignation of a director · Removal of a director under Section 169 (by shareholder resolution) · Death or incapacitation of a director.

Minimum director requirement

A Private Limited Company must have a minimum of 2 directors at all times. An OPC must have exactly 1 director. Before any removal, ensure the minimum requirement will be met.

Who Usually Requires This?

The Adding / Removing Directors solution matches perfectly with these profiles:

  • Why It Applies
  • Profile
  • Why It Applies
  • Startups onboarding co-founders or investor-nominated directors
  • When a new co-founder joins the team or an investor takes a board seat as a condition of investment, a formal director appointment must be filed with the ROC.
  • Companies where a director is voluntarily resigning
  • A director's resignation is only legally effective when DIR-12 is filed with the ROC. The resigned director remains on MCA records - and liable - until the form is filed.
  • Companies removing a non-participating or inactive director
  • Removing a director under Section 169 requires a shareholder resolution (with special notice) and DIR-12 filing. We manage the entire process including the notice requirement.
  • Companies with directors disqualified under Section 164
  • If a director is disqualified, they must be removed from the board and replaced. The new appointment and old cessation must be filed simultaneously to maintain minimum director count.
