Company Compliance · Panaji, Goa
All your Director Identification Number (DIN) compliances in Goa — DIN application (DIR-3), annual KYC (DIR-3 KYC), change in particulars (DIR-6), surrender (DIR-5) and the reactivation of a deactivated DIN — handled accurately and on time.
Overview
A Director Identification Number (DIN) is the unique number every director needs, and it carries its own set of forms and an annual obligation. The DIN is obtained through DIR-3 (or via SPICe+ at incorporation), updated for any change in particulars through DIR-6, and can be surrendered through DIR-5.
Crucially, every DIN holder must complete DIR-3 KYC every year — failure deactivates the DIN and attracts a fee to reactivate it, blocking the director from acting until restored. We manage the full DIN lifecycle, including timely KYC and reactivation, within our change management and compliance services.

Frequently asked questions
A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique number that every individual must have to be appointed as a director of a company. It is obtained before or at the time of appointment, and stays with the individual across companies. We obtain and maintain DINs for directors.
A DIN is obtained by filing Form DIR-3 with the required identity and address documents, or it is allotted through the SPICe+ incorporation form when a new company is registered. We handle the application and the supporting documentation.
DIR-3 KYC is the annual know-your-customer filing that every DIN holder must complete to keep the DIN active. It is mandatory each year, and we file it for all your directors within the deadline to avoid deactivation.
If the annual KYC is not filed, the DIN is deactivated, and the director cannot act or sign filings until it is reactivated by completing the KYC and paying a reactivation fee. We track the deadline and, if a DIN has lapsed, reactivate it promptly.
Any change in a director's particulars linked to the DIN — such as name, address or contact details — is updated by filing Form DIR-6 with supporting proof. We file the update so the DIN records stay accurate.
Yes. A DIN can be surrendered or cancelled in certain circumstances by filing Form DIR-5, for example where it was never used or was duplicated. We assess eligibility and handle the surrender where appropriate.
