DIN
Director Identification Number (DIN) is a mandatory requirement for all existing and new directors (or proposed directors) of a company. A DIN is issued following the directions provided by the amendment to the Companies Act.
DIN is an 8-digit Unique ID Number allotted to all directors with lifelong validity. It helps in acquiring data from all directors in a database. In past decades, many scams occurred where companies assured their citizen's exceptional returns, then disappear with their cash to a different city.
To provide a protected channel a cross-check on such persons is required, and to ensure the director’s identity is trustworthy and all data provided is accurate, the government introduced the DIN. Accordingly, the DIN directory will contain all knowledge about the directors, such as their name, PAN number and also their present address. Any change in the address or other information needs to be updated immediately.
Importance
DIN number is compulsory for any person planning to register any Company in India and be a member of the Board of Directors. DIN number is not required for stockholders of a Company. Further, a DIN number can be used for expressing a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or a current DPIN (Designated Partner Identification Number) that can be used for registering a Company.
