<h1>India Simplifies Director Identification Number Process: Online Applications and Same-Day Approval via eForm Under Companies Act.</h1> The Ministry of Corporate Affairs in India has streamlined the process for obtaining a Director Identification Number (DIN) under the Companies Act, 1956. The revised procedure mandates online applications via eForm, eliminating physical document submissions and allowing only online fee payments. Applications can be submitted by the applicant using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) or verified by a professional, enabling immediate online approval. The Companies (Directors Identification Number) Rules, 2006 will be amended accordingly. Penal actions will be enforced for false information. These changes aim to expedite DIN allotment to the same day and apply to updates in director particulars.
