Removal of Director
When a director resigns or is removed, the company must file DIR-12 with the MCA within 30 days to update its official records, and the resigning director can separately file Form DIR-11 to record their own resignation. Missing this deadline can cause compliance complications later. Elixir Filings prepares the resignation letter or removal resolution and files the required forms on time.
