What is DIN?

• Director Identification Number (DIN) is an identification number that the Government of India may issue to a person who is or wishes to be registered as a company’s director.
• It is done with the aim of formal identification of the director and comprises the Designated Partnership Identification Number (DPIN) that is issued pursuant to section 7 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act-2008.
• The Director Identification Number must be obtained by all current directors and anybody who wishes to be assigned as the company’s director.
• Non-Indian citizens who serve as the directors of Indian companies must also have a DIN. But, the directors of international companies with Indian branches are not required to get a DIN.
• Any person who wishes to be designated as a director of a company or chosen as an official partner in a limited liability partnership must duly fill and submit Form DIR -3 online to the Government of India to receive a DIN.
• If the business is created using Form INC-32, no more than three directors can obtain a DIN.
