A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique identification number allotted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to an individual who intends to become a director in any company registered in India. It helps the government track and verify all directorships held by a person, ensuring transparency in company governance and preventing identity misuse.
However, if a person no longer serves as a director, does not plan to take up any directorship in the future, or has multiple or duplicate DINs, they must voluntarily apply for surrender or deactivation of DIN using Form DIR-5 under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014.
The surrender of DIN process plays an important role in maintaining an accurate and up-to-date database of directors in the MCA system. It helps remove inactive or duplicate DINs and ensures that only legitimate and active directors are recorded. Moreover, surrendering a DIN helps individuals avoid unnecessary annual KYC filings, potential non-compliance penalties, and government notices related to unused DINs.
A DIN can also be surrendered in special cases such as:
When the individual never used the DIN for any company appointment.
When a person holds more than one DIN (only one can remain active).
When a person has been declared insolvent or mentally unsound by a court.
When a person has passed away and the DIN needs to be formally deactivated.
At Ebizfiling, we simplify this entire process for you. Our professionals verify your eligibility, prepare the Form DIR-5 along with the necessary affidavit and declarations, and ensure the application is filed correctly with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). We also provide updates until the DIN is officially deactivated in the MCA records.
Whether you are surrendering due to resignation, duplication, or non-usage, Ebizfiling ensures your application is filed accurately and approved without delay.
