Director KYC


Annual Compliance for Directors in India

Director KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory annual compliance requirement for directors in India, enforced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). All individuals holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete this process annually to keep their DIN active and updated in the MCA’s records.

The DIR-3 KYC form ensures that the MCA has accurate and up-to-date details about each director. Failure to file the form on time can lead to DIN deactivation, along with penalties.
