Changes in Directors


According to the Companies Act, 2013, the term “Director” is defined as someone appointed to the Board of a company. Shareholders of the company collectively elect the group of individuals for the managing the affairs of the company. This group of individuals is called “Directors” of company. Since Company is a legal entity and not the person itself. Hence, it has to act only through the agency of natural person called “Director”. It is the director who takes decisions on behalf of the company and operates and manages the company.
