Boards change as businesses grow: co-founders join, investors nominate directors, people move on. Each change is a legal event that must be approved, documented and filed with the ROC within thirty days.
Krishna TaxNova manages director changes end to end, from DIN and consent formalities to the board resolution and DIR-12 filing, whether it is a friendly appointment or a difficult exit.
What is Director Appointment and Removal?
Appointing a director requires a DIN, written consent in DIR-2, a board or general meeting approval and filing of DIR-12 within thirty days. Resignation requires the director’s notice, board acknowledgment and the same DIR-12 timeline; the director may also file DIR-11 to protect their own record. Removal of an unwilling director follows the special procedure under section 169 with proper notice and hearing.
Who Should Apply for Director Appointment and Removal?
- Companies adding co-founders, professionals or investor nominees to the board
- Directors resigning who want their exit properly recorded
- Companies replacing directors after shareholder changes
- Boards removing a non cooperative director lawfully

Director Appointment and Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a company have a director without a DIN?
No. Every director needs a Director Identification Number. First time directors can get it through the appointment filing itself, which we prepare.
I resigned but the company never filed it. Am I still liable?
Your resignation is effective from notice, but the public record matters. You can file DIR-11 yourself with proof of the resignation, and we regularly do this for exiting directors.
What is the minimum number of directors a company must keep?
Two for a private company, three for a public company. If an exit takes you below the minimum, an appointment must happen promptly, ideally simultaneously.
Can we remove a director who refuses to resign?
Yes, shareholders can remove a director under section 169 with special notice and an opportunity to be heard. The procedure is strict, and shortcuts get overturned, so it must be run precisely.
