Appointment of Director onboard a new director, filed right.
Appointment of director services in Mumbai and across India — appointment of additional, executive, independent and women directors, DIN and DSC procurement, DIR-2 consent, board and shareholder resolutions, and timely DIR-12 filing for private limited companies, public companies and LLP-converted entities.
Appointing a director is one of the most common and most consequential changes a company makes. Whether a company is bringing in a co-founder, an investor nominee, a professional executive, an independent director or a woman director to meet board composition norms, the appointment must follow the procedure laid down in the Companies Act and be reported to the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed time.
A valid Director Identification Number is the starting point — no one can be appointed without it. Alongside the DIN, the proposed director must give written consent in Form DIR-2 and disclose any disqualification in Form DIR-8. The appointment is then authorised by the appropriate authority — the Board for an additional director, or the shareholders in general meeting for a regular appointment — and the change is filed in Form DIR-12 with the ROC within 30 days.
Our director appointment practice handles every step — procuring the DIN and digital signature where required, drafting DIR-2 consent and DIR-8 disclosure, preparing the board resolution or shareholders' resolution and explanatory statement, updating the register of directors and key managerial personnel, and filing DIR-12 within the statutory window. We advise on the right category of appointment for your situation and ensure the board change is documented cleanly, so the new director's authority is unquestionable from day one.
