Director जोड़ना या हटाना: Consent, Resignation और DIR-12

DIR-12 concerns particulars of directors/key managerial personnel and changes under the applicable framework. Appointment, resignation and removal have different underlying requirements. The current instruction kit identifies form purposes and attachments; the corporate action itself must be valid before the filing is prepared. ^{[1] [2]}

Establish the underlying action

For an appointment, review eligibility, identifiers, consent, disclosures and the appropriate approval route. For resignation, preserve the actual resignation and receipt/effective-date facts. A removal dispute should not be described as a voluntary resignation simply to simplify the form.

Update the wider records

Prepare the relevant resolutions and filings, update company registers and consider bank/portal authorisations affected by the change. Keep payment and acknowledgement records. Review any separate obligation of the departing person and any minimum-composition issue caused by the departure. ^[2]

Practical preparation checklist

• Proposed action, dates and director identity/consent records.
• Actual resignation or applicable removal process evidence.
• Corporate approvals, current form attachments and certification.
• Registers, bank/portal authority and acknowledgement updates.

Illustrative example

A director sends a resignation that takes effect on a stated future date. The company must assess the actual effective-date rule and records instead of choosing whichever filing date is convenient. Dates drive the compliance analysis.

Avoid this mistake

Do not create a resignation letter for someone who has not resigned or appoint a person without their informed consent. Director changes can affect responsibilities beyond the MCA form, so define drafting, filing and downstream-update scope explicitly.
