What is Director KYC?

Director KYC is the process of confirming the identity of company directors. It ensures that only genuine individuals are recorded as directors of a company. The process typically requires providing personal details, identity proof, and address proof. DIR-3-KYC is also known as DIN KYC or Director KYC.

Types of Director KYC

a) e-form DIR-3 KYC

Any DIN holder submitting KYC details for the first time is required to file them only through eForm DIR-3 KYC, as the web service cannot be used in such cases. Similarly, if a DIN holder needs to update any information in the KYC, the changes must also be made by filing eForm DIR-3 KYC. The web service for DIR-3 KYC does not allow updates to existing details.

b) DIR-3 KYC-WEB

A DIN holder who has already filed eForm DIR-3 KYC in a previous financial year and does not need to update any information can complete the annual KYC using the DIR-3 KYC web service.

Why to File DIR-3-KYC

The main purpose of filing DIR-3 KYC is to keep the database of directors updated, promote transparency, and reduce the risk of fraudulent activities. It also enables secure communication between directors and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Documents Needed for Filing DIR-3-KYC

The following documents are needed :

• Permanent Account Number (PAN)
• Aadhar Card
• Passport
• Valid Mobile Number and email ID
• Director’s Digital Signature
