Change in Management appoint or resign directors and KMPs with complete MCA filing compliance.

Any change in the directors or Key Managerial Personnel of a company — whether an appointment, resignation, removal, or change in designation — must be notified to the Registrar of Companies by filing Form DIR-12 within 30 days. The change must first be approved by the board or shareholders (for certain categories of directors), and the consent and disclosure documents of the incoming director must be obtained.
