Overview of Changing Director or Designated Partner

Directors are appointed by the shareholders of a Company for the management of a Company. As per Companies Law of 2013, a Private Limited Company is required to have a minimum of two Directors and a Limited Company is required to have a minimum of three Directors. On the other hand, a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) has Designated Partners and Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 requires each LLP to have a minimum of two Designated Partners. The appointment or removal of a Director or Designated Partners may be required due to various reasons. Legal Suvidha Providers can help you file the necessary filings to add or remove a Director from your Company or add or remove a Designated Partner from your LLP.

So, the following points must be kept in mind while adding or removing a director in a company:

• That to become a director, a person must be at least 18 years old.
• He must possess DIN allotted by MCA in case of adding a director.
• Foreign nationals can also become directors in an Indian Company.
• Proper resolutions must be passed in board meetings for accepting directors & for accepting resignations of the going directors.

For effecting any change in LLP following points must be kept in mind:
• A resolution for effecting any change in LLP must be passed.
• A supplement agreement must be executed.

To add a Director or Designated Partner, Digital Signature must first be obtained for the proposed Director. Once Digital Signature is obtained, the proposed Director can be added into the Company with the consent of the shareholders. To remove a Director from a Company or LLP, it is important to ensure the Company or an LLP would have the minimum required the number of Director or Designated Partner after removal of the Director. If so, then the resignation letter along with the required form must be filed to effect the resignation of the Director.

Advantages of Changing Director or Designated Partner

  • New talent in Committee– Inputs of each department are required for the growth of the business. A new director can bring in specialization, innovation, and efficient work ethics.
  • No obligation of ownership– Directors are responsible for daily operations. The director does not require subscribing to share capital, so there is no obligation over ownership and voting rights of shareholders with the new director appointed.
  • The inadequacy of existing directors- The Company needs to make sure that it is not suffering due to the inadequacy of the existing directors. There is a possibility that any existing director is not working efficiently after a certain period or due to personal reasons or old age. So it is important to either remove or add a new director, if any.
  • To comply with statutory requirements– The minimum number of directors in a private limited company is 2. So in order to fulfill the statutory limit, the number of directors shall not be reduced below the limit.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
