Appointing a new director is a key corporate event that must be properly documented and filed with the MCA/ROC within 30 days. Failure to comply attracts penalties. LegalSearch handles all documentation, Board Resolution drafting, and Form DIR-12 filing end-to-end.
A properly filed director appointment is legally enforceable and protects both the company and the new director from future disputes.
Form DIR-12 must be filed within 30 days. LegalSearch ensures you never miss the deadline, avoiding additional late filing fees.
Correct documentation ensures the new director's rights, responsibilities, and liabilities are clearly established from day one.
LegalSearch drafts all required resolutions, consent letters, and declarations — saving your legal team significant time.
After filing, the MCA database is updated to reflect the new director — essential for bank account operations and government contracts.
We verify the incoming director's DIN is valid and active before filing, preventing rejection of the application.
