In India, every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must annually verify their details with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a process called Director KYC (Know Your Customer).
This process ensures that the MCA database contains accurate and up-to-date information about company directors and helps prevent fraudulent or inactive directors from continuing in corporate positions.
Introduced under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, Director KYC is a mandatory compliance applicable to all directors — whether they are active or inactive in any company.
Director KYC is an annual verification process that requires every director with a DIN (Director Identification Number) to confirm their personal details with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
This process is completed by filing Form DIR-3 KYC or DIR-3 KYC-WEB on the MCA portal.
The objective is to ensure:
Authentic director identification,
Prevention of duplicate or fraudulent DINs, and
Maintenance of transparency in corporate governance.
Every individual who:
Has been allotted a DIN on or before 31st March 2025, and
Is in ‘Approved’ status,
must file their Director KYC on or before 30th September 2025.
This applies to:
Directors in active companies
Even if a person is not currently a director in any company, filing KYC is mandatory if they possess a valid DIN.
