Overview
Under the Companies Act, 2013, directors are entrusted with managing and overseeing a company’s affairs. However, when they fail to comply with statutory requirements — such as non-filing of annual returns or financial statements for three consecutive financial years — they can be disqualified under Section 164(2). Once disqualified, their Director Identification Number (DIN) and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) become inactive, preventing them from acting as directors in any company or incorporating a new one.
Director disqualification not only affects an individual’s professional reputation but also restricts the functioning of the company, as the ROC often strikes off such companies under Section 248. To overcome this, the disqualified directors can seek removal of their disqualification either through a writ petition in the High Court or after revival of the company under NCLT, depending on the situation.
Restoring a director’s eligibility requires detailed legal drafting, presentation of facts, and documentation before the relevant authority. It’s essential to demonstrate that the disqualification occurred without valid grounds or that remedial actions have been taken by the company.
