FAQ

FAQs — Directorship Check

Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013 specifies the maximum number of directorships a person can hold: (1) Total Limit - A person cannot be a director in more than 20 companies simultaneously, (2) Public Company Limit - Maximum of 10 public companies (listed or unlisted) out of the total 20, (3) Counting Method - Only active directorships are counted; resigned or struck-off companies are excluded after the effective date, (4) Exclusions - Alternate directorships, directorships in Section 8 companies (NGOs), and dormant companies are excluded from the limit, (5) Consequences - Holding office beyond these limits is punishable with fines up to ₹5,000 per day of default. Our system automatically calculates current active directorships against these limits and alerts when appointments would cause non-compliance.

Our network analysis engine identifies potential conflicts through: (1) Common Directorship Mapping - Detects when two companies share directors, indicating potential related party relationships, (2) Group Company Identification - Traces corporate families through common directors, shareholders, and addresses, (3) Circular Directorship Patterns - Flags suspicious networks where directors serve on each other's boards, potentially indicating shell company structures, (4) Cross-Board Appointments - Identifies directors serving on boards of competing companies in the same industry, (5) Kinship Detection - Where data is available, identifies family relationships between directors of different companies, (6) Transaction Pattern Analysis - Flags unusual patterns of business between commonly directed companies. This analysis helps companies comply with Section 177 (Related Party Transactions) and make informed decisions about board appointments.

Yes, our monitoring system tracks directorship changes in real-time: (1) Change Alerts - Instant notifications when a director is appointed or resigns from any company, (2) Historical Timeline - Complete chronological view of all board positions held since DIN allotment, (3) Tenure Analysis - Calculates average tenure, identifies frequent job-hoppers, and flags unusually short or long appointments, (4) Pattern Recognition - Identifies directors who frequently join companies just before they become dormant or struck-off, (5) Cessation Reason Tracking - Captures reasons for resignation (retirement, disqualification, personal reasons, etc.) where filed with ROC, (6) Reappointment Tracking - Monitors directors who return to boards after resignation or cooling-off periods. This historical view is crucial for assessing director stability and identifying red flags like "professional directors" who serve on dozens of companies briefly.

We provide comprehensive analysis of directorships in non-active companies: (1) Status Classification - Clearly distinguishes between active, struck-off (Section 248), dissolved, under liquidation, and amalgamated companies, (2) Strike-off Reason - Identifies whether struck-off was due to non-filing (defunct) or voluntary closure, (3) Association Risk - Flags directors with high percentages of struck-off companies in their portfolio, (4) Timeline Analysis - Shows when companies became inactive and whether directorship was current at that time, (5) Revival Tracking - Monitors companies restored via NCLT orders and director reappointments, (6) Liability Assessment - Identifies directors potentially liable for dues of struck-off companies under Section 248(7). While struck-off companies don't count toward Section 164 limits, excessive associations with such companies indicate higher risk and potential disqualification under Section 164(2)(a) for failure to file financial statements.

Our comprehensive directorship report includes: (1) Director Summary - Personal details, DIN status, PAN, and KYC compliance, (2) Active Directorships - Company names, CINs, date of appointment, designation (MD, Whole-time, Independent, etc.), company status, and Section 164 compliance check, (3) Past Directorships - Complete history with appointment/resignation dates, tenure duration, and cessation reasons, (4) Disqualification Status - Section 164 applicability, debarment history, and litigation involvement, (5) Network Analysis - Visual graph of related companies, common directors, and group structures, (6) Compliance Score - Risk rating based on directorship patterns, company performance, and regulatory filings, (7) ROC Filing Status - Compliance track record of companies where the person is/was director, and (8) Charge Details - Information about secured loans and charges registered against companies in the portfolio. All data includes MCA reference numbers and timestamps for audit trails.

Absolutely, our directorship check is designed for high-stakes decision making: (1) Pre-Investment Due Diligence - Investors use our reports to assess founder/director track records, identify competing interests, and evaluate corporate governance standards before funding rounds, (2) Board Appointment Screening - Companies verify potential independent directors for Section 149 compliance (no pecuniary relationship, not promoter-related) and check for disqualifications, (3) M&A Transaction Support - Acquirers map target company director networks to identify hidden liabilities and related party exposures, (4) Consortium Lending - Banks verify directors across borrower companies to detect common promoters and circular financing risks, (5) Vendor Onboarding - Corporates screen vendor directors for conflict of interest and shell company indicators, (6) Insurance Underwriting - D&O insurers assess director portfolio risk and litigation exposure. Our reports are accepted by Big 4 auditors, law firms, and regulatory bodies for official due diligence purposes.
