Presently, such information is not displayed on MCA website. However, the director himself can get this information. Just create login user ID as Business User using own digital signature. After logging in you will get list of your companies with list of documents filed by them.

As per my knowledge,there is no such mechanism at present to find the directorships of a person in all companies through DIN on mca website.

But such person is mandatorily required to disclose annually to his/her company about the positions he /she occupies in other companies and notify changes as and when they take place. This information also disclosed in the annual report of the company under corporate governance section.

MCA has started a new service for the benefit of one & all.

From now onward, one can check from MCA site, Details of Companies in which a person is / was a Director.

For that, one has to log in to MCA and then select Companies in which a person is/was a director option under Services head. Just enter DIN No. and u will get all the required information, like Name of the Co., current designation, Date of appointment, Date of appointment, Date of Resignation, Company status and Defaulting status etc.,just in few seconds.
