When a Director wishes to step down, they officially submit a written letter to the company informing them of their voluntary resignation, specifying the effective date.
Form DIR-12 is filed by the company (within 30 days of acceptance) and Form DIR-11 is filed by the resigning director (within 30 days of resignation date) with the ROC.
No. The company must maintain the minimum required number of directors (two for a Pvt Ltd). A new additional director must be appointed first, after which the resignation can proceed.
The resigning director remains liable only for non-compliance and actions during their tenure, but is explicitly not liable for any company actions or non-compliance occurring after the effective date of resignation.
Resignation is voluntary — initiated by the director. Removal is involuntary — initiated by the company against the director's will, requiring a Special Notice and Ordinary Resolution.
