Director Appointment, Resignation and Change Filing Support
A director change should be supported by the correct company records before it reaches MCA. TaxQue helps review whether the event is an appointment, resignation or change in designation and prepare the agreed resolutions, consents and filing documents. Share the event date and existing director record.
Different events have different approval and documentation requirements. Confirm the number of directors, event, filings and professional certification included in the quote. Share transfers, disputed removal, company-law advice and changes to ownership are separate matters unless specifically engaged.
What is Director Change?
Identify the director event: Distinguish appointment, resignation and designation change and confirm the effective date and existing company structure.
Organise supporting approvals: Review consents, declarations, resolutions and relevant resignation records before preparing the submission.
Update the company record: Track the applicable filing and retain the acknowledgement; the change does not by itself transfer shares or ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Director Change
Under Section 152 and 161 of the Companies Act, 2013, the proposed director must hold an active DIN, provide their written consent in Form DIR-2, sign a non-disqualification declaration in Form DIR-8, and be appointed through a Board Resolution (as Additional Director) or General Meeting. Form DIR-12 must then be filed on the MCA portal within 30 days.
Under Section 169 of the Companies Act, a director can be removed by the shareholders before the expiry of their tenure by issuing a 14-day Special Notice, holding an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), granting the director a reasonable opportunity of being heard, passing an Ordinary Resolution, and filing Form DIR-12 with the ROC within 30 days. TaxQue prepares all required legal notices.
Form DIR-12 must be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days from the date of the appointment or removal resolution. Filing after 30 days attracts compounding additional MCA late fees starting from 2x up to 12x normal government fees. TaxQue ensures filing within 48 to 72 hours.
Your case is handled by a practicing Company Secretary (CS) and Corporate Legal Associate. We draft the Board Resolutions, EGM Notices, DIR-2 consents, DIR-8 declarations, and complete digital DSC certification on the MCA V3 portal.
No. A valid DIN is legally mandatory before an individual can be appointed as a director. If the proposed director does not have a DIN, TaxQue applies for a fresh DIN allotment via Form DIR-3 or directly through the appointment portal.
