Corporate changes and filings

Appointing, replacing and recording the resignation of directors in India

We help document changes to the board and prepare filings for the Registrar of Companies (ROC). We start with the reason and effective date.

How we can help

We check the procedure under the law and AOA for appointment, resignation or early removal.
We check DIN details and list consents, notices and corporate resolutions.
We help arrange the DIR-12 filing and check which internal records and banking mandates need updates.

When does a company file DIR-12?

The deadline is usually 30 days from the appointment or other change. We confirm the event and start date from the documents before filing.

When does a voluntary resignation take effect?

Generally, the effective date is the later of the date the company receives the written notice and the date the director specifies in it.

Can a foreign national be appointed as a director?

Generally yes, subject to eligibility and documentation. The board must still include a director who meets the requirement for presence in India.

Does DIR-12 apply to LLP partners?

DIR-12 is for companies. LLP partner changes follow LLP rules, usually using Form 4 and, if the agreement changes, Form 3.

We confirm requirements and timelines for your situation. See the general rules in the service terms.
