Keeping a Director's Identity Private in a Limited Company: Is It Possible?

Confidentiality of a Director's Identity in a Private Limited Company

Can the identity of a director of a private limited company be kept confidential from the public?

Thank you!

As per the Companies Act of 2008, you can disclose the identity of a Director. This is stated in the statement of capital, which outlines the nominal value of the shares. When acquiring a bond paper, it is necessary to disclose this information, indicating the company and the individual's name that needs to be acknowledged.

Regards.

It would have been more appropriate if you had mentioned the background/reason(s) for your query. Coming to your query, please clarify what you mean/understand by 'public'. Like Sharmila Das indicated, the names of Directors have to be disclosed to the MCA and also to the IT Department on an annual basis. However, the public—meaning any citizen—can obtain this information from the MCA through the RTI Act if the reasons are justified. I suggest providing full details for your query to receive more suggestions from the members.

Hi Venky, the names of the directors of a private limited company can be found on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website.
