Appointment of Director

End-to-end appointment of directors in Goa — DIN and consent, board or shareholder approval, and Form DIR-12 filed within 30 days so the new director is properly on record with the MCA.

Overview

Add the right director, correctly.

Bringing a new director onto a board involves more than a resolution. The Companies Act requires consent, declarations of eligibility, the correct approval route and timely filing — and getting any of these wrong can invalidate the appointment.

We handle the DIN, the consent in Form DIR-2, the DIR-8 declaration, the board or general-meeting approval and the DIR-12 filing — whether you are appointing an additional, executive, independent, nominee or woman director. We also manage the removal of a director when a board changes.

Frequently asked questions

Appointing a director, answered.

What is the process to appoint a director?

The proposed director obtains a DIN and gives written consent in Form DIR-2 along with a declaration of non-disqualification. The company then approves the appointment by the board or members and files Form DIR-12 with the Registrar.

Does a new director need a DIN before appointment?

Yes, an individual must hold a valid Director Identification Number to be appointed as a director. If the person does not have one, we obtain it as part of the appointment process.

What is Form DIR-12 and when is it filed?

Form DIR-12 is the filing that records the appointment, change or cessation of a director with the MCA. It must be filed within 30 days of the appointment along with the consent and supporting resolutions.

What is the difference between an additional director and a regular director?

An additional director can be appointed by the board between general meetings and holds office only until the next annual general meeting, where members may appoint the person as a regular director. The role and tenure differ, though both require a DIN and DIR-12.

Can a company appoint an independent or woman director through this process?

Yes. The appointment of independent directors, woman directors, nominee and alternate directors follows the same core steps, with additional eligibility conditions and declarations specific to each category, which we manage for you.

What happens if DIR-12 is filed late?

Late filing of Form DIR-12 attracts additional fees that increase with the delay, and persistent default can expose the company and officers to penalties. Timely filing keeps the appointment clean and the records accurate.
