Resignation of Director — Done Right, Without the Runaround
A director's resignation is not complete when they send the letter - it's complete when DIR-12 is filed with the ROC and the registers are updated. Miss the 30-day filing window and the company pays additional fees. We handle the full sequence.

Overview
What a proper resignation involves
A director resigns by giving written notice to the company; the resignation takes effect from the date of receipt or a later specified date.
The board must note the resignation at a meeting, and the company files Form DIR-12 with the ROC within 30 days.
The resigning director can also file Form DIR-11 directly with the ROC as their own record of resignation.
Statutory registers, bank mandates, and disclosures must all be updated to reflect the change.

The resignation takes effect from the date the company receives the notice, or a later date specified in it - the board then notes it at a meeting.
Within 30 days of the board meeting that notes the resignation. Late filing attracts additional fees.
It is the director's own intimation to the ROC about their resignation - optional but strongly recommended, because it protects the director if the company delays its filing.
Yes - the minimum director count must be maintained (two for private companies, three for public). If the resignation breaches it, a new appointment must happen alongside.
A clean resignation with proper filings generally ends the director's liability for the period after resignation. Pending defaults from their tenure need separate attention.
Resignation is voluntary and initiated by the director. Removal is initiated by shareholders through an ordinary resolution with special notice. Different process, different forms.
Yes. Update bank mandates, authorised signatories, and any personal guarantees. We give you the post-resignation checklist.
Typically a few working days once the board meeting is done - the DIR-12 filing itself is quick when documents are ready.
