Hello Aesha Safi,

You need to file Form DIR-5 that is to surrender your DIN for each one of them obtained later compared to the oldest DIN you possess. Also, the DIN which was generated first and is the oldest shall be your original DIN.

You can check the status using the 'Enquire DIN Approval Status' option available under the 'Director Identification Number' link on the home page of the MCA portal (www.mca.gov.in) Contact them, they do respond to the query well.

Also, the search portal on the MCA can be used to know whether the DIN you filed DIR-5 for are surrendered or not as one can get details of a particular director through the DIN.

Hope this helps.
