FAQ
The most common policy for member organizations is to call a meeting of members and notify the board member in writing that they will be voted upon during said meeting. From there, bylaws can require the majority of (or sometimes more) members to vote to remove the board member.
Most commonly, directors are appointed by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), or in extreme circumstances, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). A resolution for the appointment is put to a vote, and passed if a majority of shares are voted in favour.
A resolution for removing a director must be passed in the general meeting of shareholders after giving the director an opportunity of being heard. After passing the resolution, form DIR-12 must be filed with the ROC. After filing the form, the director's name would be struck off from the MCA website.
How to gain an appointment to a board of directors Select the type of board to serve. Search for openings. Select the right company. Familiarize yourself with the directors. Conduct in-depth research on the board and company. Network at special events. Request an appointment. Craft a high-quality resume or CV for an interview.
The Legal Option Many bylaws require that notice be given to the Board member who might be terminated and that a super-majority of Board members must vote to expel the member. But, again, review your own bylaws and get legal counsel if you need to remove a Board member.
One way is to write a letter to the board and ask to read it out loud at your final board meeting. The board should include your letter as part of the board meeting minutes. The other way is to follow the chain of command. Tell the board chair first, then the executive director and then the whole board.
Unless there is a special provision in the company's Articles of Association a director cannot be removed from office by the Board of Directors, and only the shareholders can remove a director. The Articles may provide a procedure for this; otherwise the statutory procedure must be used.
A petition to remove a board member should include: A greeting to the board and reason for writing your letter. A list of the reasons with evidence as to why you think they should be removed. The form of action you are asking to be taken. A conclusion and statement of the identities of the petitioners. Signature spaces.
Form DIR 12 is required to be filed within 30 days of cessation with an attachment of resolution passed for cessation and resignation of the director. The company has the authority to remove a director provided the director was not appointed by the Tribunal or the Central Government.
The following are legitimate grounds for the removal of a board member: Breaching fiduciary responsibilities. Having a conflict of interest. Failing to comply with bylaws. Engaging in illegal and unethical activities. Missing qualifications. Term limits. Passing of ordinary resolution. Retirement of directors by rotation.
