DIN Application – Overview
What is a DIN?
Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit identification number allotted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to an individual who intends to become a director or is already a director of a company. DIN helps the government track the involvement of individuals across multiple companies and ensures transparency and accountability.
Eligibility for DIN Application
DIN can be applied for by:
Individuals intending to become directors of a company
Existing directors without a DIN (as per legal requirement)
Indian as well as foreign nationals (subject to MCA norms)
Applicants must be legally competent and meet the requirements under the Companies Act, 2013.
Importance and Benefits of DIN
A DIN is mandatory for appointment as a director and is required for all MCA-related filings. It ensures legal recognition, transparency, and compliance with corporate governance norms. DIN also helps maintain a centralized database of directors, preventing misuse and fraudulent practices.
Process of DIN Application
