Board resignation and vacancy procedure sets out notice, effective date, and reporting duties for filling vacancies. A member of the Board, other than the Chairperson, may resign by written notice to the Chairperson, while the Chairperson may resign by letter addressed to the Central Government. The resignation takes effect on acceptance or on expiry of thirty days, whichever is earlier. When a vacancy occurs or is likely to occur, the Chairperson must immediately report it to the Central Government, which must take steps to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Code.
