How to Do KYC of Directors on MCA

All you need to know

Filing Director KYC on MCA is a mandatory compliance for every person holding a Director Identification Number (DIN). By submitting the DIR-3 KYC form online, directors can keep their DIN active and avoid penalties. This guide explains how to do KYC of directors on MCA, the due dates, required documents, and the step-by-step process for DIN KYC.

What is Director KYC on MCA?

Director KYC is a compliance process introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to verify and update the details of directors holding a DIN. Every director, whether Indian or foreign, must file the DIR-3 KYC form each year on the MCA portal.

This process ensures that the MCA database has accurate information such as name, address, contact number, and email ID of directors. If a director fails to complete the DIN KYC before the due date, their DIN will be marked as “Deactivated” and they will not be able to sign or file any company-related forms until it is reactivated.
