An Overview

Remove a Director

A minimum of two directors is required for a private corporation, whereas a minimum of three directors is required for a public company. A organisation can fire a director if he or she violates any of the Act’s disqualifications, such as missing more than 12 months of board meetings, entering into contracts or agreements in violation of section 184, being barred by a court or Tribunal, or being convicted of any offence and sentenced to at least six months in jail.

A director’s resignation from an organisation could also be required if he or she has not followed the terms and protocols set out in the Companies Act of 2013, or has voluntarily resigned.

Protocol for removing a director from office?

Let us look at the protocol for dismissal of a director in three separate circumstances:

Shareholders may vote to remove a manager.

  • Meeting Announcement: A notice to all shareholders is sent out for a board meeting, which must be held within seven days of the date of issue.
  • Resolution Adoption: A motion is passed calling for a general meeting and then the resignation of the director, which is subject to shareholder consent on the day of the meeting.
  • Another get-together: Following a 21-day notice, a second assembly of shareholders is convened to vote on whether or not to proceed with the resolution passed earlier.
  • An opportunity to be heard: The shareholder-removed director will be granted an opportunity to comment against his or her dismissal.
  • DIR-11 and DIR-12 forms: Shareholders must file Form DIR-11 and Form DIR-12, as well as the Board Resolution’s attachments and an ordinary resolution.
  • Removing the name: The name of the concerned director is deleted from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) database and website after all of the formalities have been completed.
