How do I change a director of my Indian company?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

The board or shareholders approve the change, the new director obtains a director identification number and gives consent, and form DIR-12 is filed with the Registrar within 30 days. The company must still keep at least two directors, one of them resident in India. We prepare the resolutions and file the form.
