Resignation of Director in India

A director’s resignation is a voluntary relinquishment of their position on the company’s board in accordance with Section 168 of the Companies Act, 2013.

At Patron Accounting, we assist companies and directors throughout the resignation process—from drafting the resignation acceptance to filing the required DIR-11 form with ROC—ensuring complete regulatory compliance and transparency.

With our expert support, companies can manage smooth leadership changes while avoiding procedural errors, delays, and penalties.
