LEGAL SIDE OF DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT

According to the Companies Act, 2013, a director is an individual who is appointed to perform functions and take on responsibilities pertaining to managing the company. A company's Board of Directors consists of these individuals. They make decisions about company policy and manage the company.

The shareholders appoint two-thirds of the directors of a public company, and the remaining one-third is appointed according to the company's articles of association. For private companies, the Articles of Association prescribe the method for appointing directors. Directors are appointed by the shareholders if the appointment method is not specified in the articles.

As per Section 163 of the Companies Act, two thirds of directors can be appointed according to the principle of proportional representation if the company has adopted such a policy. In cases of misconduct or mismanagement, nominee directors are appointed by the government or third parties.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR APPOINTING A DIRECTOR TO A COMPANY?

Directors play an important role in an organization. They supervise and direct the company's daily operations. In addition to managing the company, they safeguard the interests of shareholders. The following are the steps involved in appointing a director:

STEP.1 - GET THE PROPOSED DIRECTORS' CONSENT

It is crucial to get the consent of the potential director at the beginning. In order to propose the name of the new director, the company must obtain the Form DIR- 2 from the proposed director.

STEP.2 - PROPOSED DIRECTORS' DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATES

In the event that the proposed directors do not have digital signatures, they should apply for them immediately. The digital signatures of the potential directors must be verified.

STEP. 3 - OBTAIN THE DIRECTOR IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DIN)

Companies must apply for director identification numbers for proposed directors if they do not already have one. Form DIR-3 must be accompanied by this document. There is no expiration date on the DIN allotted. There is no age limit for applying for and obtaining a DIN. The DIN can be obtained by Indian Nationals, Non-resident Indians, and even foreign nationals since there is no restriction on nationality.

STEP. 4 - COLLECT KYC DOCUMENTS

As part of the appointment process, the company should also collect KYC documentation and educational qualifications. A director of an Indian company is not required to possess a minimum educational qualification.
