Surrender of DIN (Director Identification Number)

Remove duplicate or inactive DINs with a smooth and compliant process.

This is an important compliance service where individuals with duplicate or unused DINs must apply for surrender to avoid penalties and regulatory complications. Many top CA/CS firms highlight this as part of their end-to-end DIN lifecycle management.

Why Surrender DIN?

As per the Companies Act, 2013, every director must hold only one active DIN. However, due to past applications or errors, some individuals may end up with multiple DINs. In such cases, it is mandatory to surrender the duplicate/inactive DINs and retain only one valid DIN.

DIN surrender may also be required if:

  • A director has never been appointed in any company
  • DIN was obtained by mistake or in violation of rules
  • The director is no longer required to hold DIN (never used, not associated with any company)

Failure to surrender duplicate/invalid DINs can lead to regulatory penalties and disqualification issues.
