The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has, through the ‘News and Important Updates’ segment on its website, informed that any individual, who is in possession of Duplicate/Multiple Director Identification Numbers (“DINs”), can only retain the oldest DIN and has to surrender the ones obtained later.
The MCA, in this regard, has clarified that a DIN, once associated, will not be eligible to be surrendered.
