Good to know
More about Appointment of Director
Consequences of Late Filing
The Board must file Form DIR-12 with the ROC within 30 days of passing the resolution. Missing this deadline attracts additional fees.
The additional fee is 2 times the normal fee for up to 30 days of delay, rising step by step to 12 times beyond 180 days. A delay not only costs money but also delays your company's ability to file other forms and can lead to the new Director's status being marked as non-compliant.

- Consent
- Must submit Form DIR-2 (Consent to Act as Director) and Form DIR-8 (Non-Disqualification).

What is the filing fee for DIR-12?
The normal government fee for Form DIR-12 depends on the authorised capital (₹200 to ₹600). Filed after the 30-day deadline, it costs an additional fee of 2 times the normal fee (up to 30 days late), rising step by step to 12 times beyond 180 days.
Can I appoint a foreign national as a Director?
Yes, a foreign national can be appointed as a Director. However, the company must always have at least one Director who is a Resident of India (stayed in India for 182 days in the previous calendar year).
What is the difference between Ordinary and Special Resolution?
An Ordinary Resolution requires a simple majority (>50%) and is used for appointing an Additional Director. A Special Resolution requires a 75% majority and is used for appointing a Managing Director or changes to the Articles.
