    D A director holds a single DIN irrespective of the nature and number of directorships held Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A director needs to have a single Director Identification number (DIN). Every individual intending to be appointed as  director of a company shall make an application for allotment of DIN to the Central Government. Once allotted, this will be used as the DIN for every directorship held by that individual. Section 155 of the Companies Act, 2013, prohibits an individual, who has already been allotted a DIN under section 154, to apply for, obtain or possess another DIN.
