The document outlines the 12 step process for applying for a Director Identification Number (DIN) in India. Applicants must fill out eForm DIN-1, attach necessary documents, get it signed digitally, upload it to the MCA portal and pay the fees online. For a practicing professional's signature, the DIN will be approved immediately if not a duplicate. For other signatories, the MCA will process it within 1-2 days. Approved DINs must then be communicated to companies within 30 days using eForm DIN-2, which the companies must submit to the ROC within 7 days.
