DINCompany Structure
Director Identification Number
(DIN)
Definition
A unique 8-digit identification number assigned to any person who wants to be a director of an Indian company. Applied for through the MCA portal; auto-generated via SPICe+ for up to 3 directors.
Why founders care
Every director must have a DIN. Without it you cannot be appointed as director. A deactivated DIN (from missed DIR-3 KYC) prevents you from signing any company document.
