POSTDIN Verification

Verify Director Identification Numbers (DIN) against MCA records — returns director name, DIN status, designation, and associated company information.

POST/tools/kyc/touras/din-verification

The DIN Verification API lets you validate a Director Identification Number (DIN) against Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) records in real time. It returns the director's full name, current DIN status (Active / Deactivated / Surrendered), designation, and the associated company name. Use it for corporate KYB onboarding, director background checks, vendor due diligence, lending to corporate borrowers, and compliance workflows that require authoritative director-identity validation.
