How It Works

  1. 1

    Board Resolution

    We draft the board resolution appointing the new director and the consent letter from the incoming director (Form DIR-2).

  2. 2

    DIN Application

    If the incoming director doesn't have a DIN, we apply for one via DIR-3 (for existing companies) — typically allotted within 1 day.

  3. 3

    DIR-12 Filing

    Form DIR-12 is filed on MCA within 30 days of the board resolution, disclosing the new director's details and DIN.

  4. 4

    MCA Master Data Update

    The company's master data on MCA is updated to reflect the new director. We verify this and provide the updated master data extract.
