Resignation of Director in Company

A Director in a company may need to resign or the Board may want to remove a Director for a number of reasons. The Director of a Company can resign from the Board by filing a resignation letter with the company and filing the intimation with the ROC. In this article, we look at the procedure for such resignation of Director.

Director’s notice of resignation to the company

A Director may resign from a company by giving a notice in writing to the company and the Board is required to intimate the ROC of such notice within 30 day in Form DIR-12. In case the Director chooses, he/she may also send a copy of the resignation letter to the ROC along with the reasons for resignation using form DIR-11. The format for resignation letter of Director is as follows:

Director Resignation Letter Format

Once the company receives the resignation letter, and the Chairman of the Board has noted it, a letter must be sent to the resigning Director that his/her resignation letter has been received. The Company must also file with the ROC e-Form DIR-12 about the resignation of the Director from the Company.
Once, the ROC is informed, in the subsequent Board Meeting, the letter of resignation of the Director is placed before the Board and that fact would be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

After a Director has tendered his/her resignation and the Board has accepted the resignation, the Director cannot be held liable for liabilities incurred by the company after the date of acceptance of resignation. However, a Director who has resigned shall be liable even after his/her resignation for any offenses which occurred during his/her tenure as Director of the Company.
