DIR-3 KYC is a mandatory compliance requirement introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to verify and update the personal details of every company director in India. Just like a bank KYC, failing to complete DIR-3 KYC can result in the deactivation of a Director Identification Number (DIN), restricting a director’s ability to perform legal and corporate functions. The process ensures that accurate contact details, such as mobile number and email ID, are linked to the DIN, maintaining transparency and preventing misuse. Whether you are a new director or an experienced professional, timely filing of DIR-3 KYC is essential to avoid penalties, keep your DIN active, and ensure smooth corporate governance.
