DIN is a unique identification number\nassigned by the government to individuals who wish to become Directors of a\ncompany. The application for DIN can be made through the MCA portal using the\nSPICe+ form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step\n3:<\/strong><strong> Name Reservation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nthe DIN is obtained, the next step is to reserve a name for the company.
