Importance of Director Identification Number

A DIN number is required to legally identify a person as a director of a company in India.

The entire database of the director can be found using DIN

Any form of communications with the MCA/ROC from the company such as annual returns, ROC filings, applications or KYC information related to the company is submitted with the signature of the Director(s) along with their DIN number.

Non-compliance with this can result in penalties and fines from the ROC and the Director can also lose their DIN number.

Director Identification Number (DIN) not only helps fixing the identity of the Director but also relates his participation in others companies, past and present.
