Every person who intends on becoming a director of a company needs to obtain the Director Identification Number (DIN). In an earlier article we covered the documents required for DIN. In this article we describe the documents required for Director KYC. Every person who has been allotted a DIN needs to submit the e-form DIR-3-KYC to the Central Government to get his KYC done. If the DIN has been allotted as on the 31st of March of a financial year, the form has to be submitted by the director on or before 30th September of the immediate next financial year.
