Applying for DIN

DIN (director identification number) is a pre-requisite for any person who intends to hold a director position in any company in India.

The form is quite simple and straightforward. However, if you an OCI (overseas citizen of India), make sure you fill the nationality correctly. Although OCI grants the holder equal status with that of NRIs and Indian citizens, it is not dual citizenship. So mention the nationality correctly and attach the certified true copy of the passport and visa from your embassy.

If there are any mistakes in your DIN form, you can always submit the DIN-4 form to make corrections.
