A board meeting is a formal gathering of a Board of Directors. Most of the organizations, being public or private, profit or non-profit, are ultimately governed by a body commonly known as Board of Directors. The members of this body cyclically meet to discuss strategic matters.
The e-Form DIR-12 is required to be filed for the Change in Designation of the Director within 30 days of such an event. The three aspects of the e-Form DIR-12 are as follows:
- Appointment of Director
- Resignation of Director
- Change in Designation in Director
Every person who has been appointed to hold the office of a director shall on or before the appointment furnish to the company a consent in writing to act as such in Form No. DIR-2. Moreover, it is required to attach a copy of the Board Meetings and extract of minutes of AGM when a change in designation from additional Director to Director takes place.
Thus, review your Board Meeting Minutes immediately after the meeting. When your board meeting minutes are complete and finished, make sure they are distributed to board members as soon as possible. Once the minutes are approved by a vote of the board during the next board meeting, they become part of the official record of the organization. It’s important that a copy of all minutes are kept in one place.

Hey @suthar_gunjan
DIR-12 is an STP (Straight Through Processing) form, hence it gets approved as soon as the payment is made and marked as “Paid” by MCA.
