Din for foreign director

Gargi Ranade (CS) (619 Points)

Hi,

I am working in MNC which is 100% subsidiary of the foreign Company, hence 50% of the Directors are foreign Nationals .

As per New DIN rules affidavit of the applicant has to be on non-judiacial stamp paper and same has to be notarised.

Now, in our case Foreign Directors are non- executive who hardly visit India .

Please let me know if there is any way out to the provision relating to notarisation of the Affidavit.

Regards,

Gargi

This may help:

Attestation Requirement
Photograph, identity proof and address proof needs to be attested by notary public, govt. gazette officer, practicing CA/CS/ICWA etc. In case of a foreign national, the photograph, identity proof and address proof should be duly attested by the notary public/Indian embassy/ apostille authority in the home country of the applicant.

What are the additional information/ documents required in case of a foreign national?

Details of a valid passport should be filled in form DIN-1 and a certified copy of same should

be attached with DIN application. All supporting documents including photograph should be

certified by the Indian Embassy or a notary in the home country of the applicant or by the

Managing Director / CEO / Company Secretary of the company registered in India, in which

applicant is a director.

Dear Priyanka ,

Thanks for your prompt reply but as per latest DIN rules affidavit of the applicant which is one of the mandatory attachment has to be on Non- Judicial Stamp paper of Rs. 10 and same has to get notarised. Now in my case , Director which is foreign national will not come down to India as anyways he is non-executive director.

I understand that Notary can not be done in the absence of the Director, Now I just want to know that there must be hundreds of Company who must be facing similar issues, what way out they are opting for obtaining DIN for such Directors.
