A person who does not hold DIN cannot be appointed as director as per Section 152 r/w Section 164(1)(h) of the Act. Rule 2(d) definition for DIN under Appointment and Qualifications of directors provides "............ issued by CG to any individual ........ to be appointed or to any existing director of a company. Can anybody Kindly enlighten on this. There are so many existing directors who ve already given their consent but got allotted DIN recently or yet to get DIN allotment. If this is the case what would be scenario between the date of appointment and the date of allotment of DIN if appointment is prior to allotment of DIN. Thanks in advance.

Section 152- Appointment of directors.
