Form dir - 8 under companies act, 2013

Dear Sir,

Please find attached herewith DIR-8.

Thanks,

As per CA 1956, Form DDA was mandatory for every Director under the corresponding sections and should taken into record at the first BM, But my doubt is The same (i.e DIR-8) is also mandatory at First BM ? Because in section 164 there is no  referrence regarding the same in 1st BM?

Please guide me in this regards

As per Sec 143(3), the Auditors are to Report (e) On the basis of written representations received from Directors as on 31 Marchxxxx, none of the directors is disqualified as on 31st March xxxx in terms of Sec.164(2).

Though Sec.164(2) refers to appointment/ reappointment only, as the Auditors are to report that 'none of the directors are disqualified from BEING appointed' based on declarations as on 31st Marchxxxx every year, the declaration from all the directors are to be received and recorded every year in order to comply with the requirement of reporting Sec.143(3)
