DIN eKYC Filing – Annual DIR-3 KYC Compliance GuideWhat is a Director Identification Number (DIN)?A Director Identification Number (DIN) is an essential unique identifier issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for individuals serving as directors in Indian companies. It enables the government to maintain accurate records of directors and their corporate engagements. Why is DIN eKYC Filing Mandatory?To ensure the accuracy of director information and maintain compliance, the MCA mandates annual updating of DIN details through the DIR-3 KYC form. Non-filing results in deactivation of the DIN, restricting the director from holding office in any company. About Form DIR-3 KYCForm DIR-3 KYC is an electronic form prescribed under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, to facilitate the annual KYC (Know Your Customer) verification of directors holding an approved DIN.
