Reviewed by CA Hitendra Pal Singh· company law, tax and complianceLast reviewed
Changes to the board must be filed with the MCA within tight windows. A resignation that is never filed leaves someone legally on the board with the liability that carries.
What is included
- DIR-12 filing
- Board resolution drafting
- DSC and DIN for a new director where needed
- Register updates
What we will need from you
- Board resolution

- Identity and address proof of an incoming director
How long it takes
Typically 3–7 working days.
Timelines are typical, not guaranteed. Government processing times vary, and a query from the officer adds to them. We will tell you where yours stands.
Common questions
How quickly must this be filed?
Within 30 days of the change. Late filing attracts additional fees, and an unfiled resignation keeps that person on the record.
