Director Identification Number

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.

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.

Where is DIN used?

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
