No, submission of Form DIR-12 or Form 32 is not mandatory if the following conditions are met:

  1. The director details are clearly mentioned in the MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association).
  2. The company’s MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) status is “Active” and can be verified online.
  3. These forms are generally used to confirm director appointments, but if this information is already captured and available through the above documents and MCA records, you do not need to submit them again.
