In today’s digital age, fulfilling the legal requirements for registering and operating a startup or company involves various procedures and form filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). One such important procedure is obtaining a Director Identification Number (DIN).

The DIN is a unique identification number assigned to individuals who wish to become directors of a company or who are already serving as directors. Previously, filling out the DIR-3 application was sufficient to obtain the DIN. However, the MCA has recently updated its registration process, requiring all directors with DIN registration numbers to submit their KYC (Know Your Customer) details annually in the DIR KYC form.
