Ensure that all particulars in the e-Form are correct. However, if the contents specified in the e-Form match with already filled DIR-3/DIN details, then the application shall be marked as a potential duplicate and shall then be processed by the DIN Cell. E-Form shall be allowed to be resubmitted only once in case of processing under this.

If not identified as a potential duplicate, DIN shall be auto approved by the system and will be sent to the DIN cell for verification. If verification is not passed, an email is sent to the director for correction of defects by filing e-Form DIR-6.

In case the e-Form is filed for updating of income-tax PAN in respect of Disabled DIN, then the status of DIN shall be changed to ‘Approved’ consequent upon approval of the e-Form.
