Dear All

What are the procedures/steps/proofs required to register for DIN for an NRI and whether the indian address is required to be filled in the address section or can the present address of a foreign country be inputed on the form?

Thanks in advance

Common Causes Of Rejection

1
The Name should be expanded even if the ID proof contains the name in abbreviated form.
2
Any mismatch in Name, including spelling mistake, may lead to rejection of application. Minor spelling deviations in the father’s name may be accepted, if such deviations do not materially impact the name.
3
Prefixes like Mr. / Ms. / Kumari / Shri etc. used in the applicant’s name
4
Residence proofs like: Bank Statements, Electricity Bill, Telephone Bill, Utility bills etc. submitted are older than 2 months of submitting the application for verification OR such documents are in the name of some other person, for example father or spouse.
5
If the seal/ stamp does not contain membership/ practicing certificate number, same may be recorded by hand.
6
Only such documents which are currently valid should be attached.
