DIR-12: When a Director Changes and How to File

DIR-12 is the form for any change in the board of directors — appointment, resignation, change in designation, or vacation of office. File within 30 days of the change. Required attachments: board resolution, consent letter (DIR-2) for new directors, and resignation letter for outgoing directors. DSC of one director and the company secretary (or another director if there is no CS) is required. Late filing beyond 30 days attracts additional fees that escalate sharply with delay. Beyond 300 days, the change requires an application to the ROC.
