Change of Directors in a Company
As businesses grow, the composition of their board often changes. Companies may need to add new directors, resign existing one, or alter their roles for smooth governance. In India, such changes must be officially updated with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through prescribed forms like DIR-12. Missing compliance can attract penalties and lead to governance issues. At MrBrandy, we make the process of changing directors online fast, compliant, and hassle-free.
At MrBrandy, we provide end-to-end service & support to make the process quick, accurate, and stress-free.
Director Alteration, Addition, or Resignation in Company or LLP
Director or partner changes—whether adding, removing, or resigning—are common in the business lifecycle. Such changes must be promptly and accurately reported to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for companies (through DIR-12) or to the RoC for LLPs (through LLP-4), securing compliance and uninterrupted operations.
Why Timely Director/Partner Change Compliance Matters
- Legal Mandate: Companies and LLPs must always keep the minimum and maximum number of directors/partners as per the Companies Act or LLP Act.
- Real-time Reporting: Changes must be notified to RoC within 30 days to avoid penalties.
- Governance & Transparency: Accurate records maintain business credibility, support stakeholder trust, and are often required by banks or investors.
- Operational Continuity: Only compliant entities can file future returns and effect legal transactions.
Legal Requirements for Director Change
- Must comply with Companies Act, 2013.
- Intimation to ROC using Form DIR-12.
- Proper resolutions passed in Board Meeting/General Meeting.
- Updated entries in Statutory Registers.
Documents Required for Director Change
- Director’s Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
- Director Identification Number (DIN).
- Consent letter from new director (Form DIR-2).
- Resignation letter (if applicable).
- Board Resolution for appointment/removal.
- Notice of EGM/AGM (if required).

Late filing incurs penalties, and ongoing non-compliance may block other MCA filings or cause legal complications.
- Can an LLP update partners for other reasons?
Yes, any change must be supported by an updated LLP Agreement and filed via LLP-4 and/or LLP-3 for amendment in the LLP agreement.
- Is MCA approval needed for all changes?
Appointment and resignation are internal, but statutory reporting and, for some designations, shareholder approval may be required.
