STEP 2 - Get a Director Identification Number (DIN)
In order to get a DIN (an 8 digit unique identification number with a lifetime validity), just fill in the form available on the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) website -- DIR-3.
The form then needs to be digitally signed and then uploaded on the MCA webportal, along with other attachments, namely photograph, proof of identity and address proof. Please note that the documents need to be attested by a full-time CA or CS or CMA.
Make online payment, after which an application number will be generated. Once the DIN is approved, the same would be communicated to the applicant within 1 month.
Notes:
A) In case there are any changes in the particulars of the director, then the same is filled in the DIR-6 Form.
B) In case the DIN is rejected, the reason for rejection will be both emailed and put on the website and you will have 15 days to rectify the same and resubmit.
STEP 3 - Create an account on MCA Portal
1) Click on 'Register'
2) Fill-in the details
3) Click on 'Create My Account'
STEP 4 - Apply for the Company to be registered
And that's it!!!
