DIN Services in India & Odisha

What is DIN?

DIN stands for Director Identification Number. It is a unique identification number associated with an individual who is appointed or proposed to be appointed as a director of a company, subject to the applicable provisions of the Companies Act and MCA procedures.

DIN is also relevant for individuals acting as designated partners of LLPs under the applicable legal framework. MCA's DIR-3 instruction kit states that an individual who does not have DIN and intends to be appointed as a director in an existing company or designated partner in an existing LLP may apply through DIR-3. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

DIN is not the same as a company's Corporate Identification Number (CIN), LLP Identification Number (LLPIN), Permanent Account Number (PAN) or Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Each serves a different purpose.

DIR-3 – DIN Application

DIR-3 is used for application for allotment of Director Identification Number in situations covered by the applicable MCA procedure.

MCA's official DIR-3 instruction kit describes DIR-3 as the application for allotment of DIN before appointment in an existing company or LLP and refers to the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and associated rules. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

When Can DIR-3 Be Relevant?

• An individual intends to become a director in an existing company.
• An individual intends to become a designated partner in an existing LLP, where applicable.
• The person does not already have an allotted DIN.
• The applicant satisfies the applicable MCA requirements.

DIR-3 KYC – Annual DIN KYC

DIR-3 KYC is the mechanism through which applicable DIN holders complete their KYC with MCA.

MCA's official FAQ states that a person who has been allotted DIN and whose DIN status is "Approved" is required to file DIR-3 KYC. The FAQ also states that disqualified directors are required to file DIR-3 KYC. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

MCA's DIR-3 KYC instructions specify personal mobile and email verification through OTP, and state that the OTP must be verified before uploading the webform. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Mobile Number and Email Verification for DIN KYC

DIN KYC is not simply a document-upload exercise. The prescribed personal mobile number and email ID are important parts of the verification process.

MCA's instructions state that mobile and email OTPs are separate and that OTPs have a validity period of 30 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
