DIN Updation
Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique code required by directors of a company under the Companies Act, 2013, serving as a regulatory identifier for directorial details. E-form DIR-6 is typically used to notify changes in previously filed director details.
If there are changes in the information provided in form DIR-3/SPICe+ (application forms for DIN allotment), the concerned director can update these details using e-form DIR-6. For example, if a director changes their address, they must inform this change by submitting e-form DIR-6 along with necessary attested documents as prescribed.
What is DIN?
As per sections 153 and 154 of the Companies Act, 2013, any individual seeking to become a director must apply for a Director Identification Number (DIN) to the Central Government, accompanied by prescribed fees. The Central Government is required to allot the DIN within one month in accordance with the rules.
For a new company, DIN allotment is integrated into the SPICe+ e-form during incorporation.
For an existing company, an individual becoming a director must file e-form DIR-3.
How to Update DIN Details
Directors needing to update particulars from DIR-3 or SPICe+ form must file changes with the Central Government within 30 days using e-form DIR-6.
Reasons for filing DIR-6 include:
- Changes in personal details like name, address, contact details, email, date of birth, father’s name, etc.
- Changes in occupation
- Changes in nationality
- Changes in income tax PAN
- Changes in residential status, passport number, or driving license number
- Changes in Aadhar number
When updating PAN details, ensure PAN details are updated before filing e-form DIR-6 for DIN update.

Approval of DIN Details
Professionals, companies, and LLPs are required to file certain forms with MCA for approval. These forms, including DIR-6, are certified by professionals like CA and CS, and processed online through the Straight Through Process (STP) by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This ensures immediate processing and approval, adhering to Ministry rules and standards.
