A Director may resign at any time and it's not necessary that his resignation should be accepted in a Board meeting of general meeting. (provided you are not appointed as WTD for a fixed period. If appointed then you may be held liable for damages for breach of contract).

Resignation will be effective from the date of resignation letter.

An intimation has to given by the Company to ROC in Form 32, but the form will not be accepted till another director is appointed in your place.

Agree with the learned member Mitali. However even if you are an ordinary director of the co. you are still liable for all the acts done on behalf of the company till the date of ur resignation as director.
