DIN (Director Identification Number) is a unique identification number for individuals who are appointed as directors of a company in India. If a DIN becomes inactive due to non-compliance or failure to file annual returns, reactivating the DIN is essential. Global Taxman offers expert assistance in reactivating your DIN, ensuring compliance with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) regulations.
What is DIN Reactivation?
DIN reactivation is the process of restoring the status of an inactive or deactivated Director Identification Number. A DIN can become inactive due to reasons such as failure to file annual returns or non-compliance with statutory obligations. Reactivating the DIN ensures that the director can continue their role in the company and fulfill legal obligations.
