{"id":11481,"count":1,"description":"Introduction\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nA <\/span>Director Identification Number (DIN)<\/b> is a unique identification number issued by the <\/span>Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)<\/b> to every individual who wishes to become or continue as a director of an Indian company. A DIN generally remains valid for a lifetime unless it is <\/span>deactivated<\/b> due to non-compliance with statutory requirements or other reasons prescribed under the <\/span>Companies Act, 2013<\/b> and the relevant rules. One of the most common reasons for DIN deactivation is the <\/span>failure to file DIR-3 KYC<\/b> within the prescribed time. When a DIN is deactivated, the individual may face difficulties in acting as a director, signing MCA forms or completing director-related filings until the DIN is reactivated. Fortunately, in many cases, a deactivated DIN can be restored by completing the pending compliance requirements and paying the applicable fees, if any. <\/span>Companies Act, 2013 \u2013 India Code<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\nTo reactivate a deactivated DIN, the individual should first identify the reason for deactivation by checking the DIN status on the MCA portal. If the DIN has been deactivated due to non-filing of <\/span>DIR-3 KYC<\/b>, the director must complete the DIR-3 KYC filing with updated personal details, verify the registered mobile number and email address where applicable, and submit the form using a valid <\/span>Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)<\/b>. After successful processing and compliance with MCA requirements, the DIN is generally reactivated. If the deactivation is due to other reasons, the applicant should rectify the specific issue before seeking reactivation.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor example, if a director forgets to file DIR-3 KYC for a financial year, the MCA may deactivate the DIN. After filing the overdue DIR-3 KYC and completing the required formalities, the DIN can generally be restored. <\/span>Filing Point<\/b> provides complete assistance with <\/span>DIN reactivation, DIR-3 KYC filing, DSC, Director Appointment, DIR-12 filing and ROC compliance<\/b>, ensuring directors regain active DIN status quickly and compliantly.<\/span>\r\n\r\nParagraph 1 \u2013 Why Does a DIN Become Deactivated?<\/b>\r\n\r\nA DIN may be deactivated when the director fails to comply with certain statutory requirements prescribed by the MCA.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCommon Reasons for Deactivation<\/b>\r\n
