All the directors of the company except the ones who were appointed after this bad thing happened are not allowed to be directors. This happens even if they did not personally do anything. The directors of the company are the ones who are affected even if the directors of the company did not cause the problem themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Personal_Disqualifications_%E2%80%93_Section_1641\"><\/span>B.

This is a matter and it is about the person who has been convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude. The crime of turpitude is something that people do not approve of and it is, against the law. When someone is convicted of an offence involving turpitude it means they have done something very wrong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The person has not paid for the calls on the shares. They still have to pay for the shares they own. The company is waiting for the payment for the shares. The person needs to pay for the calls on the shares soon, as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The person has been disqualified by a court or tribunal because of something they did wrong. A court or tribunal is like a group of people who make big decisions. The court or tribunal has the power to make these kinds of decisions about people, like this person who has been disqualified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consequences_and_Effects_of_Director_Disqualification\"><\/span>Consequences and Effects of Director Disqualification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a director gets disqualified, the company has to deal with a lot of problems. The law takes this seriously and there are many legal consequences that the director and the company have to face. Being a disqualified director is an issue and it can cause a lot of trouble for the director and the people, around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company and the disqualified director have to be very careful because the legal consequences of being a director are very serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The director of a company cannot be appointed to that company or re-appointed to the company. This rule applies to the director. It means the director is not allowed to become the director of that company again or for the first time. The company has to find a director. The director is not an option, for the company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When we look at Section 167 it says that the director has to leave their position in all the companies they&#8217;re a part of except, for the one company that is having problems and not following the rules, which is called the defaulting company. The director must vacate office in all these companies but they can still stay in the defaulting company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Director Identification Number of the director is not working anymore the Director Identification Number is deactivated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The director is not allowed to sign things, like MCA filings or documents that the board of the company has agreed on or other important papers that have to do with the law and the company like documents and the company\u2019s MCA filings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Remove_Director_Disqualification\"><\/span>How to Remove Director Disqualification?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Director disqualification under Section 164(2) is not something that will last forever. It is possible to have the Director disqualification removed. The Director disqualification can be taken away through compliance, with the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%93_Filing_all_pending_statutory_returns\"><\/span>Step 1 \u2013 Filing all pending statutory returns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has to send in all the reports that&#8217;re late including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AOC-4 (financial statements)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MGT-7 or MGT-7A (annual returns)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment of all additional fees and penalties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This clears the default thing that caused the disqualification of the application.

The director gets to make decisions. Has the power to do things after this is all done. This is when the director regains authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Legal_Position_and_Judicial_View\"><\/span>Important Legal Position and Judicial View<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The law says that if a company breaks the rules under Section 164(2) it can be disqualified. This does not mean the company is, in trouble forever. If the company fixes the problem and follows the rules then it should not be disqualified anymore. Courts have made decisions that support this idea. They think that if a company does what it is supposed to do then it should be allowed to continue operating. The disqualification is not meant to be a punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the company gets its filings in order and the Director Identification Number is restored the director of the company is legally allowed to be a director. The director of the company has to wait until the company finishes its filings and the Director Identification Number is working again then the director of the company can be a director, without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Significance_for_Companies\"><\/span>Practical Significance for Companies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Director disqualification affects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ROC compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banking and financial transactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal representation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investor confidence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business continuity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hence, early correction of defaults is crucial.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_My_Legal_Business_LLP_to_Remove_Director_Disqualification\"><\/span>Why Choose My Legal Business LLP to Remove Director Disqualification?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expertise in Company Revival Matters<\/strong><br>We specialize in revival of struck-off companies, including cases involving director disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>End-to-End Compliance Support<\/strong><br>From assessing disqualification to NCLT filing and post-revival compliances \u2014 we handle everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strategic Legal Approach<\/strong><br>We don\u2019t just file applications; we build strong legal grounds to maximize approval chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transparent &amp; Professional Service<br>\u00a0 Proper and clear communication, timely updates, and compliance-focused execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Does revival of a struck-off company automatically remove director disqualification?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Revival of a company and removal of director disqualification are treated as separate legal processes under the Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What happens to a director who was disqualified. Can this person still act for the company if the company is revived?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, a disqualified director is not allowed to do anything. They cannot act on behalf of the company they cannot sign any documents and they cannot file any forms, with the Registrar of Companies until the time they are disqualified is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Do you have to appoint a director when a company is going through the revival process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all the existing directors are not allowed to be directors the company needs to appoint a new director who is eligible to do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. What is the usual period of director disqualification?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director disqualification is typically, for five years unless something else is decided by a court or tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. What happens if a director wants to get out of being disqualified before the five years are over can they do that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relief may be available in specific cases through judicial remedies, subject to facts, compliance status, and tribunal discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. What things does the company have to do to follow the rules after it starts operating ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company needs to make sure it follows all the compliances that are required after the revival of the company. The company has to file all the returns that it did not file. It also has to give its statements. The company has to pay the fees that it has to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Is professional assistance required for revival and director disqualification matters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional assistance is strongly recommended because of this complexity. It is a good idea to get some help from a professional who knows what they are doing with the technical and legal things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. What happens if a director gets disqualified. Can this director still incorporate a company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No a disqualified director is not allowed to start a company or become a director in any other company while they are disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. What happens to the Director Identification Number when a director is disqualified. Does it affect the Director Identification Number forever?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It just stays inactive when it comes to being a director, during the time the person is disqualified. The Director Identification Number will still be there it is just not being used for directorship purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. What happens if the directors of a company are disqualified. Can the shareholders or creditors of the company still apply to have it revived?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This is possible even if the directors of the company are not allowed to be directors. The NCLT will consider the revival application, from shareholders or creditors and other people who&#8217;re unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. What happens to the contracts of the company when the director is disqualified? Does the director disqualification affect the company&#8217;s contracts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. If a company is disqualified it can cause problems, with the execution of contracts the way they do their banking and the way they follow the rules until they have directors who are doing things correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. If a company is revived does that mean the director is no longer disqualified from being a director of the company? Does the revival of the company remove the disqualification of the director?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing, about revival and director disqualification is that they are two things. Director disqualification is something that has to be figured out on its own. It has to be done according to the law. The law says that this has to be done. So director disqualification has to be resolved by itself. It has to follow the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. What happens if a director gets disqualified can this director still file a petition to revive the company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A director who is disqualified cannot do things. Sign things for the company. The company needs to do some things to make it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Do you think the National Company Law Tribunal will say no to helping a company because one of its directors is not allowed to be a director?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tribunal does not have to say yes. If the Tribunal thinks that the company should be brought back, to life then the Tribunal may say okay. Only if the company does what the Tribunal says.
