Every director in India must have a Director Identification Number (DIN) before joining the board of any company. Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, DIN ensures accountability, traceability, and transparency in corporate governance. In 2025, applying for DIN has become a digital-first, compliance-driven process. With Liquetax, you can secure your DIN quickly through guided documentation, expert handling, and end-to-end MCA filing support.

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit identification number allotted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to an individual who intends to become a director in any Indian company. Once issued, it remains valid for a lifetime and serves as a digital identity for directors across all companies they serve.
