Overview

Resignation of a director refers to the formal process through which an existing director voluntarily steps down from the Board of Directors of a company. It is governed by Section 168 of the Companies Act, 2013. A resigning director must submit a written notice to the company and ensure statutory filings are completed to update the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Common Reasons for Director Resignation ● Personal commitments or health issues ● Disagreement with company decisions or management ● Conflict of interest or legal concerns ● Retirement or stepping away from active business roles
