01Overview
What is the addition or removal of a company director?
A director is an individual appointed to the Board of Directors to participate in managing and overseeing a company's affairs, in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013, the company's constitutional documents, and applicable corporate governance requirements.
As a company grows or its requirements change, it may need to appoint additional directors or update its Board after a resignation or removal. These changes must follow the Companies Act, the company's Articles of Association (AOA), and the relevant Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) filing requirements.
Tax Uncle assists with adding or removing directors, including documentation, resolutions, and applicable MCA filings.
