Appointment or Resignation of Director

A director change is a governance event before it is an MCA filing. The company should establish the authority, effective date, consent or resignation evidence, and resulting board composition, then prepare the applicable DIR-12 filing and update its records. LIQUETAX can coordinate the agreed company-law documentation and filing; disputes, disqualification and employment questions need separate review.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Is DIR-12 the decision that appoints or removes a director?

No. The company-law decision and supporting records come first; DIR-12 reports the applicable event to the Registrar.

References: MCA: DIR-12 instruction kit

Can a resignation date be backdated?

Use only an effective date supported by the actual resignation and company records. A disputed date needs legal review.

What does an incoming director provide?

The facts determine the pack, but DIN, identity/contact information, consent, disclosures and eligibility records are common preparation items.

References: MCA: DIR-12 instruction kit

Does the company still need a valid board after the change?

Yes. Review the resulting composition and every applicable director requirement before finalising the event.

Are bank and GST updates automatic?

No. The company must identify and complete operational and authority-specific updates separately.

Does the quote include a dispute?

Not unless expressly stated. Contested removal, employment, ownership or disqualification work needs a separate professional assessment.
