Appointment of Director — DIN, DIR-12 & Board Resolution | Beyonte Compliances
Company Law · Board Governance

Appointment of Director onboard your new director with complete statutory compliance.

The appointment of a director — whether an additional director appointed by the Board, a regular director appointed by shareholders, or a managing director — is a significant corporate event. Every appointment must be reported to the Registrar of Companies through Form DIR-12 within 30 days.

A person to be appointed as a director must hold a valid Director Identification Number (DIN) and must furnish consent to act as director in Form DIR-2 before or at the time of appointment. The Board Resolution (for an additional director) or General Meeting resolution (for a regular director) must be passed, and DIR-12 must be filed with the ROC within 30 days.

At Beyonte Compliances, we manage the complete process — from verifying or obtaining the DIN, preparing DIR-2 and the appointment resolution, filing DIR-12, and updating the company's Register of Directors. We also assist with MD and WTD appointments, including Schedule V compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

DIR-12 is the form for intimating the ROC of the appointment or cessation of a director. It must be filed within 30 days of the appointment. Late filing attracts additional fees.
