Dear Experts,

Please guide. If a person has had DIN but his is currently deactivated on account of non-filing of DIR-3 KYC. He is not a director in any company currently. Can he be appointed a Director/DP in a company/LLP first and get his DIN activated later?

Question is under specific circumstances. Would appreciate early response.

Would suggest of you can cite relevant provision while answering.

Thanks much,

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether an individual with a deactivated Director Identification Number (DIN), due to missed DIR-3 KYC filings, can still be appointed as a Director or Designated Partner in a company or LLP. The core question is whether the DIN can be activated after the appointment. Initial responses suggest this is not permissible without an active DIN.
