Discrepancy Highlighted: GST Requires DIN for Foreign Company Directors, Despite Companies Act 2013 Not Mandating It A user inquired about the requirement for a Director Identification Number (DIN) when adding a director to the GST registration of a foreign company registered under the Companies Act 2013. The issue arises because while the GST registration mandates a DIN, the Companies Act does not apply this requirement to foreign companies. The response provided suggests that for GST purposes, the DIN is indeed mandatory, highlighting a discrepancy between GST requirements and the Companies Act provisions for foreign companies.
