Doc Summary
Overview
Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) is a mandatory annual compliance requirement under the Companies Act, 2013, for every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN). It ensures that the details of directors are accurate, verified, and up to date in the records of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Failure to complete the KYC within the specified deadline results in deactivation of the DIN and penalties.
Eligibility / Who Should File
- Every person holding a DIN as of 31st March of a financial year
- Directors of Private Limited, Public Limited, OPCs, and LLPs
