Receive your Director Resignation certificate and all incorporation documents.
When a director resigns, both the Company (Form DIR-12) and the resigning Director (Form DIR-11) must file with the MCA. Failure to file or improper documentation can leave the director legally liable for company actions even after resignation. LegalSearch handles all documentation and filing completely.
Proper filing ensures the resigning director is no longer legally liable for company actions after the effective date of resignation.
Filing updates the MCA database to remove the director — essential for avoiding future legal notices and compliance defaults.
The Company must file DIR-12 within 30 days of accepting the resignation. LegalSearch ensures deadline compliance.
LegalSearch files both Form DIR-12 (Company) and Form DIR-11 (Director) — providing double protection to the resigning director.
We draft the Resignation Letter, Acceptance Letter, and Board Resolution — professionally and in compliance with the Companies Act.
Clear documentation prevents future disputes about whether the resignation was accepted, when it was effective, and what liabilities remain.

A Resignation Letter is the formal written communication from the director to the company stating their intention to resign, along with the effective date of resignation.
A Resignation Acceptance Letter is the company's formal acknowledgement that it has accepted the director's resignation. It is required for Form DIR-12 filing.
Form DIR-12 must be filed by the Company within 30 days. Form DIR-11 must be filed by the resigning Director within 30 days of the effective resignation date.
The government fee for Form DIR-12 is Rs. 300, and the fee for Form DIR-11 is Rs. 300. Late filing attracts up to 12 times the normal fee.

No. A company must maintain the minimum number of directors at all times. If a resignation would reduce the number below the minimum (2 for Pvt. Ltd.), an Additional Director must be appointed first.
No. A director is only liable for non-compliance or actions during their tenure. Once the resignation is accepted and filed, liability ceases — which is why proper filing is critical.
Yes, a director can resign. However, the director remains liable for non-compliance that occurred during their tenure.
