Overview
When a director leaves your company—whether by choice or by force—it is legally mandatory to update the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Failing to do so leaves the company and the exiting director liable for future non-compliance.
FylFlix digitizes the entire cessation process. From drafting the exact wording of the Board Resolution to filing Form DIR-12, we ensure your management records are clean, legally sound, and instantly verifiable.
