Government Reviews Immediate Resignation Clause for Key Managerial Personnel in Corporate Laws Bill

The government is reconsidering a provision in the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, which would allow key managerial personnel (KMPs) like CFOs and company secretaries to resign immediately without serving a notice period. This proposal has faced strong opposition from Corporate India, citing practical challenges. A parliamentary committee is reviewing the Bill and seeking industry feedback. The government aims to enhance transparency in KMP appointments and resignations but may modify the rule based on responses.
