ROC Imposes Penalty as Individual Obtained Duplicate DIN in Violation of Companies Act

May 16, 2026

ROC Mumbai has penalized an individual for holding two Director Identification Numbers, emphasizing legal compliance under the Companies Act.

Penalty for Duplicate Director Identification Numbers

ROC Mumbai has imposed penalties on an individual for the possession of two Director Identification Numbers (DINs), thus violating Section 155 of the Companies Act, 2013. The ruling sheds light on the legal obligations of directors to maintain accurate identification and the repercussions of non-compliance.

This emphasizes the need for absolute compliance regarding DIN regulations, given the potential for ongoing penalties under Section 159 associated with unauthorized duplicates.

Legal practitioners must advise clients on the importance of compliance regarding Director Identification Numbers to mitigate the risks of facing penalties for inadvertent violations.
