Why is DIN required?
All promoter directors of a company are required to obtain an identification number called the Director Identification Number (DIN) prior to formation of a company. The DIN is issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Process for Obtaining DIN
Firstly, a provisional DIN needs to be obtained through online form DIN-1 which is available on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website. Take a print out of the Provisional DIN, paste photograph, sign at the prescribed places and send the same to DIN Authorities in DIN Cell by courier along with identity proof and address proof. Upon verification and satisfaction of the correctness of the documents, the DIN Authority converts the Provisional DIN into Permanent DIN.
