Change in Directorship

Here is all you need to know about the service you are looking for

What is a Change in Directorship?

A change in directorship means updating the board of directors of a company by adding a new director, removing an existing one, or recording a resignation. Under the Companies Act, 2013, every change must be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) using prescribed forms such as DIR-2, DIR-11, and DIR-12. This ensures the company’s records remain compliant and legally updated.
