How to Surrender Director Identification Number

All you need to know

Surrender of Director’s Identification Number becomes very important by those DIN holders who are neither Director in any Company nor Designated Partner in any LLP and also not intending to do so in near future. For surrendering DIN an application shall be made in Form DIR-5 by the DIN holder along with declaration that he has never been appointed as director in any company and the said DIN has never been used for filing of any document with any authority. Before deactivation of any DIN in such case, the Government shall verify e-records.
