The appointment of a director in a company is governed by the Companies Act, 2013. A director can be appointed through a board resolution or by the shareholders in a general meeting, depending on the type and category of directorship. The individual must have a valid Director Identification Number (DIN) and should not be disqualified under any legal provisions. The appointment must be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) using Form DIR-12 within 30 days of the appointment.
Conclusion: Proper appointment of a director ensures legal compliance, enhances corporate governance, and brings expertise to support the company’s growth and strategic direction.
