No, a partnership firm cannot become a director in a private limited company. Only a natural person can be appointed as a director under the Companies Act. A partnership firm, LLP, or another company cannot hold a directorship. A firm can only nominate a natural person to represent its interests on the board. Because the director must be an individual, you must upload the details of that specific natural person appointed as nominee.
