Home / Company Law & Secretarial Services / Appointment & Resignation of Directors

Last updated: 2 October 2026
Adding a director, accepting a resignation or removing a director each needs specific approvals and an ROC filing within 30 days. Our team prepares the consents, resolutions and DIR-12, and handles DIN applications for new directors.
A private company must have at least two directors and at least one director resident in India for 182 days in the previous calendar year. Directors from countries sharing a land border with India need security clearance before a DIN is issued.
Based on the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it. Last updated: 27 September 2026.
