ADDING A DIRECTOR

Digital Signature of Proposed Director :
If proposed Director does not have Digital Signature , he must obtain Digital Signature from Certifying Authority in India.
Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN):
If the prospective Director does not have a DIN number, he should inform the firm, and the company in which he is about to be appointed as a Director must approve a Board Resolution requesting him to be appointed as a Director. The company should then apply for the proposed person’s DIN number. Form DIR 3 requires the attachment of the Resolution. (This is a new condition for acquiring a DIN, as a new individual cannot just apply for a DIN if he is not going to be a director in any company.) DIN is only given to a Director once in his or her lifetime.
The Company should get the relevant KYC papers as well as educational qualification documents as required for the job. It is vital to know that there is no minimum academic requirement to occupy the post of Director in India.
Issue of Notice of General Meeting:
The Company should issue notice to all of the Company’s Shareholders for holding an Extra Ordinary General Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder, as well as the Secretarial Standards issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI).

Reasons to add director in India
To get new talent on board
As your business develops and evolves, you’ll need to hire more people to meet the increased demands and obstacles. It’s normal to wish to increase or decrease top-level management.
No dilution of ownership
Directors are primarily responsible for the day-to-day operations of a company. Adding or appointing an additional director helps the shareholders assign more operational responsibilities without losing any strategic control.
Inefficiency of existing directors
It could be that the existing directors cannot meet the requirements of the work or maybe even due to retirement, family problems, physical ailments or other personal reasons. In such cases, you need to add new directors.
To meet the statutory limit
Every type of company needs a certain number of directors. In case of sudden death or plans of retirement from existing directors, you will have to add another director to your company.
