A managing or whole-time director or manager cannot resign merely by giving a notice to this effect. They cannot freely resign and consider themselves relived from the respective office. Acceptance of their resignation by the company is necessary for their resignation to be effective.
Since the Act does not provide anything in this regard, Articles of the company will have to be perused. Terms and conditions of the appointment of them generally also provide conditions for resignation.
