Resignation is effective from the date specified in the letter, or date of notice to company — whichever is later.

No Liability After Resignation
Director's liability for company acts ceases after resignation — provided regulatory filings are complete.

Frequently asked questions
Form DIR-11 is filed by the resigning director with the ROC within 30 days of sending the resignation to the company. It includes the date of resignation, reasons and a copy of the resignation letter.
Form DIR-12 is filed by the company with the ROC to intimate the cessation of a director. It must be filed within 30 days of receiving the director's resignation — failing which additional fees apply.
Resignation is effective from the date mentioned in the resignation letter, or the date on which the letter is received by the company — whichever is later.
A director can resign, but if the resignation reduces the board below the minimum required (2 for a private limited company), a new director must be appointed before the resignation takes effect.
After filing DIR-11 and DIR-12, the director's liability for company acts after the effective date of resignation ceases. However, liability for acts before the resignation date continues.
