Step 3: Passing a board resolution

The company must pass a board resolution to appoint a particular person as a director of the company.

Step 4: Identification and Certification

Obtain the new director's DIN (director identification number) and DSC (digital signature certificate).

Get Forms DIR-2, DIR-12, and Form DIR-8 completed at ROC after gathering the essential paperwork and information needed for the procedure.
