DIR12 - prescrutiny says date of appointment should be greater than date of cessation

Amish (General) (340 Points)

Hello everyone,

Five years back I was appointed as whole time director from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2020

Now, I have been reappointed (continuation - no cessation). I am trying to fill DIR12 and putting date of appointment as 1 April 2020.

After filling form the "Check form" gives no error. And allows me to attach digital signature.

But when I click "Prescrutiny" - it gives this error:
Date of appointment of the signatory(s) shall be equal to or greater than the date of cessation. Kindly enter a valid date. Person is already appointed in the company under the same designation.

 

Company is small company with authorized capital 2 lakh and paid up capital 1 lakh.

This is continuation / reappointment of whole time director but there was no cessation.

Can anyone guide on how to resolve this? Any idea?

Thank you in advance.
