What is DIN Number Registration?
DIN or Director Identification Number is an 8-digit unique identification number, which is allotted by the Central Government to each Individual who is an existing director of a company or who intends to become a director of any company. Director Identification Number (DIN) was introduced in India under the Companies Amendment Act, 2006.
An allotted DIN has lifetime validity until cancelled, surrendered or deactivated and is always mentioned underneath the signature of the Directors under essential documents, information letter or report to be submitted under any law.
