Frequently Asked Questions (Director Changes)

Q1. Is it mandatory to file DIR-11 for resignation?

No, it's optional after 7 May 2018, but it is recommended to avoid liability post-resignation.

Q2. Can a director resign without Board approval?

Yes, a director can resign by giving written notice. Board approval acknowledges the resignation but does not invalidate it.

Q3. Can a company appoint a director without shareholder approval?

Yes, if the Articles of Association permit, the Board can appoint an Additional Director subject to regularisation at the next AGM.

Q4. What is the timeline for filing DIR-12?

DIR-12 must be filed with the ROC within 30 days of appointment or resignation of a director.
