Appointment of Directors

Strengthen your board with legally compliant director appointments.

Appointment of Directors, one of the most common but also compliance-sensitive corporate services.

Why It Matters

Directors form the management backbone of a company. Under the Companies Act, 2013, any appointment of directors must be approved by the Board of Directors and filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Appointments may be required for:

  • New incorporations (minimum directors requirement)
  • Expansion of board strength for better governance
  • Investor/Nominee Directors entering after funding rounds
  • Independent/Professional Directors for expertise and compliance
  • Replacement of resigned/retired directors

Failure to comply with director appointment procedures can lead to:

  • ROC rejections and non-updation of company records
  • Disqualification risks for directors
  • Penalties on both company and officers
