DIN Reactivation

All you need to know

What is DIN Reactivation?

DIN stands for Director Identification Number, which is a unique number issued to individuals who are appointed as directors in Indian companies. If a director fails to file mandatory returns or does not comply with MCA regulations, their DIN may get deactivated.

DIN reactivation is the process of restoring this number so that the director can continue to hold office, sign compliance documents, and perform legal responsibilities. Without reactivation, the director cannot take part in any company-related filings or approvals.
