Step-by-Step Process to Add a Director - MCA Compliant
At Mequintrax Digital Services, we ensure a streamlined and legally compliant approach to appointing a director in your company, strictly adhering to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Review the Articles of Association (AOA)
-
Before initiating the appointment process, we thoroughly examine your company’s Articles of Association (AOA) to check whether it allows the addition of new directors.
- If your AOA already contains the necessary provisions, we move forward.
- If not, Mequintrax assists you in amending the AOA through a special resolution passed at a general meeting, ensuring full legal enablement for the appointment.
Step 2: Obtain Consent from the Proposed Director
-
It is mandatory to obtain formal written consent from the individual being appointed as a director.
- This is done using Form DIR-2, which is a declaration by the individual confirming their willingness to act as a director.
- We guide the candidate through this form and help collect all necessary details and documents in the required format.
Step 3: Pass a Board Resolution for Appointment
-
Once consent is obtained, the company must formally approve the appointment through a Board Resolution.
- Our legal team drafts a board resolution in the prescribed format to appoint the new director.
- This resolution is passed during a board meeting or via board circular resolution, depending on your company’s governance process.
- We ensure the wording, legal references, and timelines are fully MCA-compliant.
Step 4: Apply for DSC and DIN (If Not Available)
-
Every director must have both:
- A valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for digitally signing forms
- A unique Director Identification Number (DIN) issued by MCA
If the proposed director doesn’t already possess these:
- Mequintrax assists in DSC registration and issuance through certified authorities
- We also help file DIR-3 to apply for a DIN, complete with identity and address verification
Step 5: Prepare and File ROC Forms
-
After the internal approvals and legal formalities are complete, we move to the filing stage. The following ROC forms must be filed with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of appointment:
- Form DIR-2 – Consent to act as director
- Form DIR-8 – Declaration that the appointee is not disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act
- Form DIR-12 – Intimation of appointment to the ROC with attachments like the board resolution and consent forms
Mequintrax ensures all forms are:
- Accurately filled
- Digitally signed using DSC
- Filed within statutory timelines to avoid late fees or penalties
