Add, remove or change a director in your Pvt Ltd, Public, OPC or LLP — fully MCA-compliant. We draft board/shareholder resolutions, secure consents, and file DIR-12 and DIR-11 within statutory timelines.
Get StartedDirector changes are governed by the Companies Act, 2013. To appoint a director: obtain a DSC and DIN (Form DIR-3), pass a board or shareholder resolution, take consent in Form DIR-2, and file Form DIR-12 with the Registrar within 30 days. For a resignation: the director submits a resignation letter, the board takes note, the company files DIR-12 within 30 days, and the director may also file DIR-11. Accurate filing protects the board from non-compliance and DIN deactivation. Most director changes are completed in 3–7 working days once documents are ready.
Section 168 of the Companies Act, 2013 mandates a written notice of resignation, and Section 172 imposes penalties for default. Every change must be filed in Form DIR-12 within 30 days. We handle all the resolutions, consents and filings.
