    What is DIR 3 KYC?

    DIN (Director Identification Number) is an 8-digit number that is allotted to every individual who intends to become a director in a company or a designated partner of an LLP and KYC (Know your Customer) is a method for identifying and verifying the identity of the clients in a business.

    As a part of updating the registry and yearly verification of the profile of directors/designated partners with the government, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced a new E-form DIR-3 KYC to be submitted every year by all the persons who are the directors of a company or designated partners of an LLP or person holding a DIN (Director Identification Number).

    The particulars and information of directors help the government to trace and verify the details such as identity, address, contact details, and other information of the director/designated partner holding DIN.

    Who Needs To File Directors KYC (DIR-3-KYC)

    • Every individual person who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) as of 31st March of the financial year has to file an E-Form DIR-3-KYC on or before 30th September of the next financial year.
    • For example, if a person is allotted DIN between 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021, then he has to file Form DIR-3-KYC by 30th September 2021
    • In the case of LLP, a Designated partner is allotted Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) by MCA who is also equally obliged to file DIR-3-KYC every year on or before 30th September of the next financial year.
    • A person can also update his details including address, mobile number, email id, etc. using Form DIR-3-KYC
    • It is to be noted that Form DIR-3-KYC has to be filed by everyone who holds a DIN, the fact that presently he is not a Director or Designated Partner of any Company/LLP does not rescue him/her from filing DIR-3-KYC with MCA.

    Advantages of Director KYC

    • Active status of DIN

      Timely filing of Form DIR-3-KYC shall keep the status of Director’s DIN as Active, otherwise, it would be deactivated by MCA. The director who has Active DIN can become director in any new company or designated partner of a new LLP at any point of time and he can also sign various forms using an Active DIN.

    • Timely updation of Directors details on MCA Database

      On regular filling of Form DIR-3-KYC, the details and information of the director will remain updated and can also be changed in the database of the MCA.

    • Avoid heavy penalty

      If a DIN of a Director is deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3-KYC then it can be activated by paying a penalty of Rs. 5000 per Director. By filing the form on time, one can avoid heavy penalties.
