Director Changes & Director KYC
Appointment, resignation, and change of directors — DIN allotment, DIR-3 KYC, and all director-related MCA filings handled correctly.
Changes in company directors — whether adding a new director, accepting a resignation, or changing a director’s designation — require specific MCA filings within tight timelines. Delays attract penalties, and incorrect filings can create compliance complications that are difficult to unwind.
Director Change Services
- Appointment of new director Board resolution, Form DIR-12 filed within 30 days of appointment. If new director does not have a DIN, we apply for it first.
- Resignation of director Director files Form DIR-11; company files Form DIR-12 — both within 30 days of effective resignation date.
- Change of designation From director to Managing Director or Whole-Time Director — requires Board resolution, and shareholder approval in some cases.
- Additional Director Appointed by the Board between AGMs — holds office until the next AGM where appointment must be confirmed by shareholders.
- Independent Director Specific eligibility and appointment process under Section 149 — declaration of independence required.
DIR-3 KYC — Annual Director KYC
Every person who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) — whether currently a director of any company or not — must file DIR-3 KYC annually by September 30. Failure to file results in the DIN being deactivated, making it impossible to sign any MCA document until KYC is completed.
- Due date September 30 every year — no exceptions, no extensions
- KYC filing fee (on time) Nil — no fee if filed before September 30
- Late KYC fee Rs. 5,000 — payable before reactivation of DIN
- Documents Aadhaar, PAN, active mobile number, active email ID
- Web-based KYC For directors who filed DIR-3 KYC in the previous year — Aadhaar OTP based, no documents needed
DIN (Director Identification Number)
Every director of an Indian company must have a DIN — a unique 8-digit number issued by the MCA. For new directors without a DIN, we apply for DIN as part of the director appointment process through the SPICe+ form (for new incorporations) or Form DIR-3 (for existing companies).
Frequently Asked Questions
01 How many directors can a company have?
A Private Limited Company must have a minimum of 2 directors and can have a maximum of 15 directors (additional directors require shareholder approval by special resolution). At least one director must be an Indian resident.
02 Can a director resign by simply sending a letter?
No — formal resignation requires the director to file Form DIR-11 on the MCA portal and the company to file Form DIR-12. Simply sending a letter or board resolution without MCA filing does not complete the legal process.
03 What happens if a director's DIN is deactivated?
A deactivated DIN means the director cannot sign any MCA document, DSC-linked filing, or e-form. The company's compliance is effectively frozen until the DIN is reactivated through late KYC filing and payment of Rs. 5,000 fee.
