The process for a change in director of a company in India involves several steps, including board meetings, shareholder approval, and filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

1. Director Identification Number (DIN):

• If the new director doesn’t already have one, they need to apply for a DIN (Director Identification Number). This is a mandatory requirement for anyone becoming a director in an Indian company.

2. Board Meeting:

• The company Board of Directors needs to hold a meeting and pass a resolution proposing the change in director. This could be due to appointment, resignation, removal, etc.

3. General Meeting (Depending on the situation):

• In some cases, a General Meeting of Shareholders might be required to approve the change. This is typically the case for appointment of a new director or removal of an existing director before their term ends.
  • For the General Meeting, proper notice needs to be sent to shareholders beforehand, outlining the details and agenda of the meeting.
• Shareholder approval usually happens through a voting process, and the resolution needs to be passed by a majority.
