    About DIR 3 KYC Filing

    A director identification number (DIN) is a unique identification number assigned to a person who wishes to become a director or is already a corporation director. DIN is obtained by submitting an application in eForm DIR-3, originally intended to be a one-time process for anyone wishing to become a director of one or more companies.

    • DIR-3 KYC :
      • Any director who is filing e-Form DIR-3 KYC for the first time after allotment of DIN or whose details are required to be updated/changed must file this form.
    • DIR-3 KYC (Web) :
      • Any director who has already filed the e-Form DIR-3 KYC/DIR-3 KYC (Web) in the previous year can file this form when there is no change in his/her KYC details. In this e-Form, the basic details of the director will be pre-filled from the MCA data and, thus, cannot be changed.
