    DIN Surrender

    DIN Surrender refers to a situation that arises when a director is required to surrender his DIN to the Central Government. Once surrendered, that individual will not be eligible to be appointed as a director until he obtains a fresh DIN. Under the Companies Act 2013, various circumstances are given when the director’s DIN can be surrendered/cancelled/deactivated.

    DIN – Director Identification Number is an 8 – digit unique identification number that is allotted to an individual who is to be appointed as a director of a company. Section 153 of the Companies Act, 2013, provides that every individual intending to be appointed as a director of a company shall make an application, for allotment of DIN, to the Central Government in Form DIR 3.

    Reasons for surrender of DIN or cancellation of DIN

    Rule 11 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 provides the reasons or circumstances where the Central Government may cancel or ask the director to surrender his DIN. Those reasons are as follows:

    • Where the DIN is found to be duplicated
    • The DIN was obtained by the director in a wrongful manner or by fraudulent means
    • The director has been declared to be of unsound mind by a competent court
    • If the director has been adjudicated as an insolvent
    • In case of death of the concerned director

    Ways to surrender DIN

    A director or individual who intends to surrender his or her DIN can do so in the following two ways:

    • On the order of Central Government: The Central Government shall order a director to surrender his DIN
    • Voluntary surrender of DIN: an individual or director may voluntarily surrender his DIN where
    • He has never been appointed as a director in any company or
    • The said DIN has never been used by the director for filing any document with the authority.
