The appointment of a director is an important decision in the corporate governance of a company.
Directors are responsible for overseeing the company’s activities and ensuring that it complies with the
relevant legal and regulatory requirements. The process of appointing a new director involves obtaining
approval from the existing board members and, in certain cases, the shareholders. A director’s details,
including their Director Identification Number (DIN), address, and consent, must be submitted to the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) via Form DIR-12. The appointment should be formally documented in
the board resolution and updated in the company's records. This ensures that the director is legally
recognized and authorized to manage the company's operations. The appointment of a director must be done
in compliance with the company’s Articles of Association (AOA) and the Companies Act, 2013.
