A director change starts with the actual event, not just a form name. An appointment needs a valid appointment route; a resignation needs a reliable receipt and effective-date record. LIQUETAX can help prepare agreed company records and filing inputs while keeping shareholder removal and disputed exits outside a routine change request.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Separate the requested change from other ownership or employment issues.
Map applicable approvals and the event-specific filing trigger.
Prepare the agreed record and return inputs.
Record submission status and remaining company actions.
Confirm deadlines as soon as the event is known. DIR-12 appointment/change guidance generally uses a 30-day period; the resignation rule refers to receipt of notice. Preparation cannot be used to postpone the applicable deadline.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamUnder section 168, it takes effect on the later of the date the company receives the notice and any date specified in it. The Board takes note; it is not a general power to veto the resignation.

The amended Act says the director may also forward the resignation and reasons to the Registrar. This is separate from the company's notification duty; do not describe the director's filing as universally mandatory.

No. Appointment/change and resignation provisions must be mapped to the actual event. The official kit cites the resignation rule's receipt-of-notice trigger, so preserve receipt and effective dates instead of assuming the meeting starts every clock.
References: MCA: DIR-12 instruction kit · MCA: Companies Act e-book, auditor and director provisions
Only a genuine voluntary resignation should be recorded as such. An unwilling director's removal needs the applicable statutory notice, hearing and decision process.
References: MCA: Companies Act e-book, auditor and director provisions
Do not assume that. Share ownership, employment terms, banking authority and personal guarantees need separate documents and assessment.
No. Section 168 preserves responsibility for offences that occurred during the director's tenure. A disputed or sensitive case needs specific professional advice.

THE DETAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT
A director change starts with the actual event, not just a form name. An appointment needs a valid appointment route; a resignation needs a reliable receipt and effective-date record. LIQUETAX can help prepare agreed company records and filing inputs while keeping shareholder removal and disputed exits outside a routine change request.
Companies adding a director, recording a voluntary resignation or changing a designation, and directors who need clarity on the company's filing responsibility.
| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Event | Distinguish appointment, resignation and change in designation. | A shareholder removal is a separate procedure, not a resignation written on someone else's behalf. |
| Authority | Check articles, company type and the applicable appointment route. | A Board resolution is not a universal substitute for every approval. |
| Dates | Record meeting, receipt and effective dates separately. | Different statutory events use different filing triggers; do not start every clock from a convenient Board meeting. |
| Continuity | Review the remaining Board and practical handover. | Bank mandates, shares and personal guarantees are not automatically changed by a director return. |
