Pursuant to section 153 of the Companies Act 2013, the holder of the duplicate/multiple DIN should make an application for its surrender to the regional director concerned by making an application in Form DIR-5 accompanied with a declaration on an affidavit to be notarized.
The affidavit should state that the concerned person has never been appointed as director in any company and that the said DIN has never been used to file any document with any authorities. As the Form DIR-5 is a physical one, it is to be attached in Form RD-1, and the same should be filed with the regional director.
Once Form DIR-5 is filed as attachment in Form RD-1, an application for compounding of offence under Section 441 should be filed in Form GNL-1. Then the concerned authorities for NCLT would pass an order for compounding of offences.
