DIN eKYC Filing

DIR-3 KYC is a form that needs to be submitted by all directors of a company to comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in India. It is a process of updating the personal and professional details of all the directors in the MCA database.

The objective of this KYC process is to ensure that the MCA has up-to-date and accurate information about the directors of all companies registered in India. This helps the government to maintain a transparent and effective corporate governance system.

The DIR-3 KYC form contains details such as name, date of birth, PAN number, Aadhaar number, address, phone number, email address, educational qualifications, and professional experience of the directors. It also requires the directors to upload their photograph and signature.

All directors of a company are required to file the DIR-3 KYC form every year on or before April 30th of the relevant financial year. The form can be filed online through the MCA portal or through a designated professional, such as a company secretary or a chartered accountant.

Filing the DIR-3 KYC form is mandatory for all directors of a company, and failure to do so can result in penalties and disqualification from acting as a director in any company. Therefore, it is important for all directors to ensure that they complete the KYC process in a timely manner to avoid any legal implications.
