Director Appointment & Resignation Filing
Adding a new director or handling a resignation? Leegal prepares the resolutions and files the required ROC forms correctly.
What's Involved in a Director Change?
Appointing a new director requires their consent, a DIN (or DIN application if they don't have one), a board resolution, and filing with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed timeline.
A resignation similarly requires the outgoing director's notice, a board resolution acknowledging it, and corresponding ROC filings by both the company and, where applicable, the director.
| Director Appointment | Director Resignation |
|---|---|
| Requires consent letter and DIN of the incoming director | Requires a resignation letter from the outgoing director |
| Board resolution appointing the director | Board resolution noting the resignation |
| Filed via the applicable ROC form within the deadline | Filed via the applicable ROC form within the deadline |
| Updates the company's list of directors with the ROC | Updates the company's list of directors with the ROC |

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do we have to file a director change with the ROC?
There's a prescribed timeline from the date of appointment or resignation; our team ensures the filing happens within it.
Does a resigning director need to file anything themselves?
In some cases, yes — the outgoing director may also need to notify the Registrar independently, depending on the circumstances.
What if the company doesn't act on a director's resignation?
A director can still file their resignation independently in certain cases; we can advise on the appropriate steps.
Does a new director need their own DIN before appointment?
Yes, or a DIN application needs to be filed alongside the appointment if they don't already have one.
Can Leegal handle multiple director changes at once?
Yes, we can manage appointments and resignations together where they occur around the same time.
