What is Appointment and Resignation of Directors?

In India, the Companies Act of 2013 governs the appointment and resignation of directors. The law explains the procedures for appointing directors via shareholder resolutions and establishes qualifying criteria.

To appoint a director, a business must hold a general meeting and file the relevant forms with the Registrar of Companies. Resignation is a similar process, with the director submitting a resignation letter to the board and the corporation filing the necessary forms.

The Companies Act requires timely compliance with disclosure requirements to ensure transparency and corporate governance standards during directorship changes.
