What is Director KYC?

Director KYC is an important yearly compliance that every DIN holder, whose DIN is in “Approved” status, must complete. Usually, the last date to file Director KYC is September 30 of the financial year following the year in which the DIN was allotted or KYC was last filed.
A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a special 8-digit number given to anyone who wants to become a director or is already a director of a company. It is issued by the Central Government of India and is valid for a lifetime. You can get a DIN by applying the eForm DIR-3. Earlier, directors had to apply for a DIN only once. But now, to keep the records updated every year, the DIR-3 KYC form has been introduced for collecting and verifying the KYC details of all DIN holders.

Who Needs to File Director KYC?

Any director who received a DIN before the end of a financial year, and whose DIN status is “Approved,” must complete their DIR-3 KYC filing by 30th September of the following financial year.
Directors who got their DIN on or before 31st March of the financial year must file the KYC.
