Din number and appointment of director

You have appointed the person on the board without DIN number that is fine no issue at all.. File Form 32 now as per the date of appointment..

Other views are solicited

Pls read proviso to section 253 which says that -

No company shall appoint or reappoint any individual as director of the company unless he has been allotted DIN u/s 266B.

Hence appt made in Jan, 2011 is void and ultravirus the Companies Act.

So what can we do in this regard. As DIN was not able to acquire due to some un avoidable reasons

Appoint him from date subsequent to obtaining DIN.

In case your no of directors fall below min required then appoint some one as director in back date and get him resigned after appointing aforesaid director to correct defect.
