What Is DIR-3 KYC?
Every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete KYC with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs as prescribed. The KYC confirms the director’s identity, mobile number, email and address.
If KYC is not completed on time, the DIN is marked ‘deactivated’. A director with a deactivated DIN cannot sign or file forms until the KYC is completed with the applicable late fee.
