Resignation of Director
Resignation of Director
A director’s resignation is more than a simple letter—it’s a formal corporate event that must be recorded, approved and filed with MCA. Whether the exit is voluntary, based on restructuring, or due to compliance reasons, the company must update statutory records, pass proper resolutions and complete filings to avoid future disputes or penalties. A smooth process protects both the company and the outgoing director.
