A person of Indian origin, residing and doing business in Canada wants to become director in a private limited company in India. He used to visit India for 8 to 10 days in a year. He has obtained PAN card for his Indian Income and he also has Joint bank account with his spouse in India. He has Canadian Passport and Person of Indian Origin Card. My Question is 1) What proof of ID and address to be enclosed to get valid DIN no? Can a practicing Chartered Accountant in India attest the said proofs? 2)in Point 3 of Din application it asks "Whether a citizen of India" what should be the answer?

Passport will suffice for ID and address proof provided full name of applicant, date of birth and full name of father and address is in it. Photo in DIN-1 and passport copy should be attested in the Indian embassy at Canada. If the applicant is not a Canadian citizen as per passport, he can choose "Citizen of India" for your last point in the query.
