Step 2:- Take a printout of the DIN-1, and attach Address proof and Identity proof for the director. Get a self attested passport size photo attached in the form. The proof attached is necessarily to be attested by an authorized person. Send the Application to Ministry of Company Affairs. The address is available on Application.

 

Step 3:- Once, you get approved your DIN, you have to intimate the company regarding you DIN in form DIN-2. This form has to be physically filed with company. The Company has to place the same on Board Meeting and it has to be accepted in the Board vide some resolution.

DIN-2:- Through this form, you intimate the company about your identification number, that you got form the Ministry of Company Affairs. This has to takeplace within one month of your allotment of provisional DIN.

Dear Anish,

You told you have lost your form 32. Does it mean that you have already filed form 32?

 

If yes, you are already a director in a compnay.

You are asking to start another company(?).

The Same DIN is enough for second company. But you will to file form 32 for new company also.

 

This time please print your form 32.

Yes dear Ekta you telling right but you need not pay rs.50/- for each document at the time of inspection through online just pay the fee rs.50/- one time then all the documents come into your my documents in your MCA user id then download the file and keep your record. If you want certified copy of you are specified file that time only you pay the fee Rs.25/-(One page)+Stamp Paper Rs.20/- Value (Some States stopped selling physical stamp paper that time you  get the eStamp paper from some central govt authorised companies).Finally you submit the fee receipt with (e)Stamp paper  at  RoC then they will give the certified copy of files.

Note : 1. Rs.50/- one time inspection fee.

            2.Rs.25/-+(e)Stamp Paper.(Rs.20/-

            3.Rs.50/- for Incorporation Certificate(Stamp Paper not necessary for CoI)

Eg:You want Form 18?

Form 18-Front and Back (Rs.25X2=Rs.50+One Stamp Paper(Rs.20/-))

If you have DIN No.  then You fill Form-DIN-2 (for Intimation of  your DIN No to Company in which you are already Director),  The Compnay will again fill Form-DIN-3 and upload with MCA Portal.  For filling DIN-2 you must have the date of appointment, otherwise you have to download Form-32 from the MCA Portal as EKTA suggested.  (for obtaining Date of Appointment.) 

Regards
