DIR-3 KYC Renewal Service in India
Ensure your DIN remains active. MCA-compliant filing with Professionals Law – fast, accurate, and penalty-free.
Introduction and Its Compliance
DIR-3 KYC is a mandatory compliance which has been introduced by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for all directors and designated partners who have been allotted Director Identification Number (DIN) pursuant to the second proviso to sub-section 1 of section 153 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014. Every Director who has been allotted DIN on or before the end of the financial year and whose DIN is in ‘Approved’ status, would be mandatorily required to file form DIR-3 KYC to update KYC details with the MCA. Professionals Law makes it easy for directors to meet their yearly compliance requirement by taking care of the entire DIR-3 KYC Filing and it is filed properly at the right time, eliminating the chances of penalties and DIN being deactivated.
