Form DIR-3 KYC - KYC of Director

DIN stands for Director Identification Number. It's a unique identification number assigned to an individual who intends to be appointed as a director of a company. It is a mandatory requirement for anyone looking to become a director in an Indian company. It serves as a means of tracking and regulating the activities of directors under the Companies Act, 2013. DIN no is issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in India. Each director, whether of a public or private company, must have a distinct DIN. This number remains valid for the lifetime of the director and is not affected by changes in directorship or companies.
