It is possible to add or remove a director from the company at any time. While the articles of incorporation should have provisions allowing it, the Articles of Association and Companies Act provisions dictate how and who can be appointed as a new director. Appointment of additional directors to the company involves following a bunch of procedures and HSRAdvisory is here to help you make the whole process easy for you. In addition, you can receive the director appointment form at ease.

The process of adding a director is more complicated than one might think it to be.

Step 2: The proposed director must give his or her consent to act as the director via director appointment form
Step 3: The company must pass a board resolution for appointment of director of the company.
Step 4: Get DSC (Digital Signature Registration) and DIN (director identification number) for the new director.
