As a part of updating its Registry, the MCA will be conducting KYC of all Directors of all companies annually through a new form, i.e. DIR-3 KYC (“Form”) to be notified shortly.
While filing the form, the director will have to mandatorily indicate his Unique Personal Mobile Number and Personal Email ID which would be verified by a One Time Password (OTP).
The form must be filed by every Director using his own DSC and should be duly certified by a practicing professional (CA/CS/CMA).
Filing of DIR-3 KYC will be mandatory for Disqualified Directors also.
After expiry of the due date by which the KYC form is to be filed, the MCA21 system will mark all approved DINs (allotted on or before 31st March 2018) against which DIR-3 KYC form has not been filed as ‘Deactivated’ citing the reason ‘Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
After the due date filing of DIR-3 KYC in respect of such deactivated DINs will be allowed by paying a specified fee only, without prejudice to any other action that may be taken.
