https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296268 The Registrar of Companies has no statutory power under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 to deactivate a Director Identification Number merely because a director is disqualified under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013. Disqualification under Section 164(2) and DIN deactivation are distinct, and Section 167(1) governs vacation of office rather than cancellation of DIN. A director of a defaulting company may still require a valid DIN to file statutory documents and cure the default, so DIN deactivation was held inconsistent with the statutory scheme. The challenge to the disqualification-related consequences was therefore accepted in line with the prior binding decision. en-us Tue, 15 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 19:55:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296268 The Registrar of Companies has no statutory power under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 to deactivate a Director Identification Number merely because a director is disqualified under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.
