He has reportedly written to the Central government and said he is not interested to continue serving as the Attorney General.
Rohtagi was appointed to the post for a three-year term on June 19, 2014.
Sources in the law ministry told NDTV they were "not aware why the Attorney General is not keen to continue".
The Attorney General told NDTV, "I have worked for five years as law officer under the Vajpayee government and now three years under the Modi government."
He said: "I want to return to my private practice. I have a good relationship with the government... That's why I wrote to the government not to extend my term."
