Director Appointment Filing for Private Limited Companies (DIR-12)

  • One request at a time, 3 working day turnaround
  • Government fees billed at actuals separately
About This Filing

What is DIR-12?

DIR-12 is the prescribed form for notifying the MCA about the appointment of directors, key managerial personnel and changes in their designations. It must be filed within 30 days of the appointment, supported by the consent letter (DIR-2), declaration of non-disqualification (DIR-8), and the board / shareholder resolution authorising the appointment.

Quick Reference

Why It Matters

Compliance Importance & Consequences

  • Mandatory within 30 days of director appointment under Section 170 of the Companies Act, 2013
  • Without DIR-12 filing, the new director cannot legally act for the company
  • Late filing attracts additional fees of up to 12 times the normal filing fee
  • Banks and authorities verify directors against the MCA database — unfiled appointments cause real friction

The Real Cost of Per-Form Pricing

Why Pay for Single Forms When You Can File Unlimited?

Most professionals charge ₹2,000–₹4,000 just to file a single DIR-12. Add another director next year and you pay again. Add an independent director, then a managing director — every appointment is a separate invoice. Unlimited filing makes this a non-issue.

Pay-Per-Filing Approach

One DIR-12, One Invoice

₹2,000 – ₹4,000Per-filing quote (single DIR-12)
  • Pay separately every time you need this filing
  • Fresh quote, fresh negotiation, fresh wait every event
  • No coverage for any other ROC filing
  • No GST monthly returns included
  • Costs add up across the year — almost always more

Suitable only if DIR-12 is the only filing your company will need this entire year.
