Director e-KYC Filing

Director e-KYC Filing

Director e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) filing is a mandatory compliance process aimed at verifying and updating the personal details of directors in the official records of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Under this requirement, every director who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) must submit their KYC details annually using Form DIR-3 KYC. The process involves providing personal information such as name, address, contact details, and PAN, along with verifying these details through an OTP-based authentication on the registered mobile number and email address. This e-KYC filing ensures that the MCA's database is accurate and up-to-date, thereby enhancing the transparency and accountability of corporate governance. Failure to complete the e-KYC filing within the stipulated deadline can lead to the deactivation of the DIN, barring the director from engaging in any corporate activities until compliance is restored. Timely and accurate filing of the director e-KYC is essential for maintaining active status and avoiding penalties, thus ensuring smooth governance and regulatory adherence within the company.
