WHAT IS DIR-3KYC – APPLICATION FOR KYC OF DIRECTORS
Director identification number (DIN) is a unique identification number given to a person wanting to be a director or an existing director of a company. In this digitised era, application in eform DIR-3 was sufficient to obtain DIN. This was a one- time process for any person who wants to be director in one or more companies. However, now with the move of the ministry of corporate Affairs (MCA) to update its registry, all directors with a DIN will have to submit their KYC details annually in eform DIR-3 KYC.

As per MCA recent announcement, any director who was allotted a DIN by or on 31st march 2018 and whose DIN is in approved status, will have to submit his KYC details to the MCA. Further, this procedure is mandatory for the disqualified directors too.
