Appointment and Resignation of Director in Pune: ROC Form DIR-12, Consent & Board Resolution

Legal Process for Appointment and Resignation of Directors in Pune

The Board of Directors serves as the supreme executive governing body of a Private Limited company. Introducing new technical co-founders, bringing angel investors onto the board, or accepting the voluntary resignation of an existing director are routine corporate restructuring actions. Under Section 168 and 170 of the Companies Act, 2013, any change in directorship must be recorded with ROC Pune by filing Form DIR-12 within 30 days.

Failing to file Form DIR-12 leaves resigning directors legally tethered to the company's subsequent corporate liabilities, while newly appointed directors cannot lawfully execute commercial contracts or sign bank mandates. At KOKJAGUAR Consultancy, our corporate law specialists draft board resolutions, notices, shareholder approvals, and file Form DIR-12 with digital signatures.
