Appointment of foreign national as a director

Hi Guys,

 

Can anyone tell me the procedures that are required , as per Companies Act 2013, for appointing a foreign national (who is presently residing in India and for the next 1.5-2 years) as the Director of the Company?

Also, Procedure for obtaining DIN? Is it any different from that of a Citizen of India?

Thanks in Advance

Dear Mr Varun

 

There is no restriction of appointing foreign national as director of the company . Provided that we have to ensure that there is at least one director who is residing in India. He also entitled to get DIN as any  citizen can get. Regards

Dear Krishnan,

Thanking for sparing some time to reply to my query.

The company already has a resident director.

Will any further compliances be required for obtaining DIN for the person ? I read in the MCA site that the person will have to attest the supporting documents ,furnished along with DIR-3 , by Indian Embassy or a notary.

Any further Compliances required like menioned above ?

 

Thanks
