### Key Points:
* **DIN can be surrendered only if it is not associated with any active directorship.**
* Since the person is **not a director in any company presently**, the DIN can be surrendered.
* The usual process involves filing **Form DIR-5** to surrender the DIN.
---
### Your concern:
> *“Please don't say file DIR-5 as the person is not a director currently.”*
Actually, **filing DIR-5 is the prescribed method under the Companies Act for surrendering a DIN**, irrespective of whether the DIN is linked to an active directorship or not.

### About the CIN field in DIR-5 if the person is NOT a director in any company:
* The **MCA portal requires a CIN for filing DIR-5**.
* Since the person is **not a director in any company**, **you can mention “Not Applicable (N/A)”** or write **“00000000”** or as per latest MCA system, leave it blank if allowed.
* Alternatively, you can provide the CIN of the last company where the DIN was linked, if any.
* If the DIN has never been allotted against any company, just mention “N/A” or leave the field blank if the portal allows.

### Step-by-step summary to surrender DIN:

If the MCA portal still insists on CIN and does not allow filing DIR-5 without valid CIN, you can write to MCA support for clarification or approach a company secretary to assist you.

If you want, I can help draft the surrender letter or assist in filling DIR-5. Just let me know!
