Register a Director Identification Number (DIN) to legally appoint a director in an Indian company, fulfilling compliance under the Companies Act, 2013.
A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit identification number allotted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to individuals appointed as directors of a company. DIN registration is mandatory for any person intending to be appointed as a director in an Indian company. The process involves submitting an application with personal details, proof of identity, address proof, and an undertaking through the SPICe+ form or DIR-3 form, followed by verification by the MCA. Once issued, the DIN remains valid for life and is used in all filings and interactions with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
