This discussion addresses the issue of a deactivated DIN caused by failing to file DIR-3 KYC over five years ago. The user is unable to reactivate their old DIN and DSC due to inaccessible old contact details and ongoing technical problems with the MCA portal (V3 issues, DSC association problems). While one suggestion proposes obtaining a new DIN, this is contrary to Section 155 of the Companies Act 2013, which prohibits individuals from having more than one DIN. The user is seeking a definitive remedy to update their existing DIN and DSC with current information.
My DIN was deactivated during the 2016 purge, And the current status is Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC. I wanted to Incorporate a new company and prior to that get my DIN activated. Since I don't have access to the old number and email of Business User MCA. A Professional was given this task and its been 20 plus days its not been done, All i hear is V3 issues, Mobile showing Null, cannot associate dsc since old info is there etc.
I wanted to know, How can there be no recourse to someone not having access to half a decade old info. So what is the remedy here to get my DIN DSC activated and ready. I want the New details associated to my DIN & DSC on MCA.
