Description

DIN is tied to PAN or Passport number of the applicant and each person is allowed to obtain one DIN as per rules and regulations. During the DIN registration process as well, procedure has been put in place by the Government to prevent duplicate DIN generation by verifying against the PAN database. …

As per rule 11(f), a person can apply for surrender of DIN only in the situation when “DIN is unused and never used for appointment as director in any Company” (except situations like unsound mind, death, and insolvent).

What happens if my DIN gets deactivated due to non-filing of KYC? In said case, the DIN will be deactivated with the reason of ‘non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’. Due to deactivation, you will not be allowed to take any actions based on your DIN and any action taken will be held invalid.

If the DIN holder is declared as a person of unsound mind by a competent court, then the DIN should be surrendered by filing of DIR 5 for surrendering the DIN pursuant to section 153 of the Companies Act 2013.

When Director adjudicated as an insolvent- If the DIN holder adjudged as an insolvent, then he shall surrender his DIN by filing Form DIR-5 along with the order of court. Death of the Director- In case of death of director, his relative shall file Form DIR-5 and shall attach death certificate to it.
