Director KYC

WHAT IS DIRECTOR KYC?

Director KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory annual process in India for all directors holding a Director Identification Number (DIN). It ensures the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) maintains an accurate and updated database of company directors.

Benefits of Director KYC

  1. Improved Corporate Governance: Ensures transparency and accountability by maintaining accurate director information. 
  2. Reduced Risk of Fraud: Helps deter unauthorized activities by verifying director identities. 
  3. Faster Regulatory Approvals: Streamlines government approvals with updated director details. 

Process of Filing Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)

  1. Gather Documents: 
    • DIN of the director 
    • PAN Card copy 
    • Passport (if applicable) 
    • Aadhaar Card (optional) 
    • Address proof (utility bills, bank statements etc.) 
  2. Access MCA Portal: Visit the MCA portal and choose the DIR-3 KYC option.
  3. Fill & Submit Form: Enter DIN details and update contact information (mobile number, email address). 
  4. Verification: Verify PAN details and OTP received on the registered mobile number. 
  5. Sign & Submit:  Digitally sign the form using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).

Drawbacks of Non-Compliance

  1. Deactivated DIN: Failure to file DIR-KYC leads to DIN deactivation, hindering directors from holding board positions. 
  2. Penalty Fees: A penalty of ₹5000 is levied for reactivating a deactivated DIN. 
  3. Delayed Approvals: Delays in company registrations and filings due to inactive DINs. 

Documents Required for Director KYC

  1. PAN Card (mandatory) 
  2. Aadhaar Card (optional, but recommended) 
  3. Passport (for foreign directors) 
  4. Proof of Address (utility bills, bank statements etc.) 

Eligibility for Director KYC

All directors with a valid DIN in India are required to file DIR-KYC annually.
