Process
From start to end our team provide you complete guidance and support tailored for your needs.
Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN)
What Happens
A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit number allotted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to any person intending to become a director. DIN is mandatory for filing any company-related documents.
How Founders First Helps
We check DIN status and assist in applying for DIN through DIR-3 (for existing companies) or SPICe+ form (for new companies). We handle identity verification, DSC issuance, and MCA filing end-to-end.
Obtain Consent to Act as Director (Form DIR-2)
What Happens
Form DIR-2 is a written declaration from the proposed director stating their willingness to act in such capacity.
How Founders First Helps
We draft a compliant DIR-2 form, get it signed digitally/physically, and maintain it in your company records.
Hold Board Meeting
What Happens
A Board Meeting is a formal gathering of directors to make key decisions. A resolution for the appointment must be passed.
How Founders First Helps
We prepare a customised board meeting notice, agenda, resolution drafts, and provide a meeting minutes format to maintain compliance.
File e-Form DIR-12 with ROC
What Happens
DIR-12 is a statutory form to be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for every change in directorship. It must be filed within 30 days of the appointment.
How Founders First Helps
We prepare and submit Form DIR-12 with all mandatory attachments (DIR-2, resolution, ID proofs), digitally sign it, and track approval status until completion.
Update Company Registers
What Happens
Post-appointment, the company must update its Register of Directors and Key Managerial Personnel as per Section 170 of the Companies Act, 2013.
How Founders First Helps
We help maintain all required statutory registers like MBP-1 (disclosure of interest), DIR-8 (non-disqualification), and update the company records accordingly.
Issue Appointment Letter
What Happens
An official letter confirming the appointment, roles, and responsibilities must be issued to the new director.
How Founders First Helps
We draft and customize the appointment letter based on the company's needs and relevant HR terms.
