Need of the e-form DIR-3 eKYC)
As you are aware that Registrar of Companies across the India struck off inactive rather non-compliant Companies and disqualified Directors associated with that Companies. Directors associated with these Companies filled several writ petition before various high courts on the ground that opportunity of being heard is not provided to them before taking any action against them.
ROC issued notices to Companies concerned but not informed directors associated with them because ROC doesn’t have any database of individual directors. So, as a part of creating database of directors consisting mobile number, email Id and residential address of Directors, MCA issued a new form which is required to be filled every year by every DIN holder.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT ITS BECAUSE OF WRT PETITON FILLED BY IRECTORS THIS WHOLE KYC THING CAME INTO PICTURE? I FOUND NO OTHE ARTICLES TO SUPPORT YOUR IDEA. ALTHOUGH, I FULLY BELIEVED IN IT FOR A MOMENT BUT I STILL WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT.
Dear sir,
I was a director of a company but i had resigned from that company and i am no more director of any company, do i still have to fill DIR 3 form?
Thanks
I was previously Director of a Pvt. Ltd. company and subsequently resigned. I am no longer associated with any company and do not plan to be as I am 70 years old. Since I have DIN, I will be filing the DIR-3 KYC. However, to avoid the hassle and cost (have to pay professional to certify even though there is no filing fee for the form itself), can I surrender or deactivate my DIN? I read somewhere that once DIN is used as Director of a company, it cannot be surrender and is lifelong. So how do we avoid the annual compliance requirement for a DIN that is no longer necessary? If I stop filing the KYC I am concered that I will be in violation of the law which requires the annual compliance.
