Contact about this work

DIN and DSC are the first Ministry of Corporate Affairs steps when incorporating a company in India. They also sit under company-law retainership when an existing company needs a new director’s DIN or a fresh DSC for filings.

The firm acquires DIN and DSC as part of Business Set-up when incorporating, and under Company Law when the engagement is retainership or a standalone director appointment. MCA and certifying-authority processes apply.

Write to a partner with the proposed directors’ particulars and whether the DIN or DSC is for a new incorporation or an existing company.
