Why Your Deactivated DIN Needs Immediate Attention
A deactivated Director Identification Number (DIN) bars you from legally performing director duties - signing documents, filing MCA forms, or joining new boards. Reactivation requires filing DIR-3 KYC with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). At Lawyers Legal Services, we streamline this process to restore your corporate authority within 72 hours. Key Triggers for Deactivation:
- Missed annual KYC deadline (30 September)
- Discrepancies in submitted details
- Non-payment of late fees
