In accordance with the provisions of section 167(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013, the office of a director shall become vacant in case he incurs any of the disqualifications specified in section 164; Provided that where he incurs disqualification under sub-section (2) of section 164, the office of the director shall become vacant in all the companies, other than the company which is in default under that sub-section.
So, technically, there is no need to remove a director who is already disqualified under section 164 and whose office of directorship in the company is automatically vacated (with the exception as mentioned above).
So, once the office of the director is vacated, the Board should take note of the same in their ensuing meeting and necessary eform should be filed with the ROC within the due date.
Templates of board resolution for removal of director due to disqualification are as follows—
SAMPLE #1
[Disqualified under sub-section (1) of section 164]
