Change in Designation of Director update a director's title and role with full statutory compliance.
A director's designation may change over the life of a company — an Additional Director may be regularised, a Director elevated to Managing Director, or a WTD's term extended. Each change in designation is a reportable event under the Companies Act, 2013 and must be filed with the Registrar through Form DIR-12 within 30 days.
Contact UsA designation change typically requires a Board Resolution (and in some cases a shareholder resolution) — and where the new designation involves executive remuneration, Schedule V limits must be complied with. Central Government approval may be required for public companies or private subsidiaries of public companies where remuneration exceeds the prescribed limits.
At Beyonte Compliances, we manage the complete process — from advising on the correct procedure to drafting the resolution, filing DIR-12, and updating the Register of Directors and all statutory records.
