What is a
Director Identification Number (DIN)

DIN is a unique Director identification number allotted by the Central Government to any person intending to be a Director or an existing director of a company. It is an 8-digit unique identification number which has a lifetime validity. Through DIN, details of the directors are maintained in a database.

Whenever a return, an application or any information related to a company will be submitted under any law, the director signing such return, application or information will mention his DIN underneath his signature.

DIN is specific to a person, which means even if he is a director in 2 or more companies, he has to obtain only 1 DIN. And if he leaves a company and joins some other, the same DIN would work in the other company as well.

What is a DIN (Director Identification Number)?

A DIN (Director Identification Number) is a unique identification number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to individuals who wish to become directors of a company in India. It is a mandatory requirement for all directors, and it helps in identifying them across all companies they are involved with.

Can I apply for a DIN if I am a foreign national?

Yes, foreign nationals are eligible to apply for a DIN, provided they have the required identity and address proof documents, such as a passport and address proof from their home country. The process for foreign nationals is similar to Indian nationals, with the addition of specific documentation based on their nationality.

What is the validity of a DIN?

A DIN is valid for life once it has been issued. There is no expiry date, and it remains associated with the individual, regardless of their involvement in multiple companies. If a director ceases to be associated with any company, the DIN will remain valid unless it is canceled due to non-compliance or other issues.

Can I cancel my DIN if I no longer want to be a director?

Yes, if you no longer wish to be a director, you can request the cancellation of your DIN through the MCA portal. You need to submit an application for DIN deactivation or cancellation. However, this will only happen if you are no longer associated with any company.
