WHAT IS DIRECTOR KYC?

DIR 3 KYC – A MANDATORY COMPLIANCE !!

From the Financial Year 2019-2020 onwards, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has mandated annual KYC filing for every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN). A DIN is a unique number allotted to anyone who wishes to become or is already a director in a legal entity. The DIN can be obtained by submitting e-Form DIR-3 — a one-time digital process for aspiring directors.

Now, every director holding a DIN as of 31st March of a financial year must submit their KYC details in e-Form DIR-3 KYC by 30th September of the following financial year. Failing to do so will result in penalties and deactivation of the DIN until proper compliance is completed.

WHY DIR 3 KYC IS REQUIRED ?

NECESSITY OF FILING DIN KYC FORM

The DIR-3 KYC e-form or Directors KYC as the name suggests, is introduced to collect information of all the directors associated to any legal entity, including their residential address, e-mail address, and present cell phone number. The directors’ information must be relevant to them, for example, the cell phone number must be updated with UIDAI. This measure was taken in order to increase data transparency. This will assist MCA in checking director accreditation and weeding out fake directorships.

Previously, the government has developed strike-off (Company dissolution) proceedings against over 3 lakh firms, affecting over 6 lakh directors and disqualifying their DIN. By implementing this new rule 12A, all directors and designated partners of all LLPs must update their DIN (Director Identification Number) to conform with the rule, regardless of whether their DIN is active or inactive, and directors with ineligible DIN.

Eligibility For DIN KYC Form Filing

Who Is Required To Submit E-Form DIR-3 KYC?

According to the MCA notification, any director who received a DIN by or on March 31, and whose DIN is in authorised status must submit his KYC information to the MCA department failing of which will be liable for a DIR 3 KYC penalty. This procedure is also required for directors whose DIN have been disqualified.

From the Financial Year 2019-20 onwards, any director who has now been assigned a DIN on or before the ending of the financial year and whose DIN is in authorised status is required to file Director KYC form by the 30th September of the next financial year.

Directors with a DIN or Director Partner Identification Number (DPIN) before March 31, and directors given a DIN/DPIN by March 31, must file the e-Form DIR-3 KYC before September 30th of that year.

NOTE: Incase of non-filing of the DIR 3 KYC before the due date, late fees or penalty for director KYC will be charged.

Checkpoints For Completing The DIR-3 KYC E-Form

The second caution is that the director must use his own digital signature when submitting this DIR 3 KYC e-Form.

DIR-3 KYC FILING INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO FILE DIRECTOR KYC ?

Filing a DIR- 3 KYC entails the following steps:

1. Download the DIR 3 KYC application form

The first step is to get the form from the MCA website.

2. Please provide DIN information

In the DIN KYC form, the individual/Director must submit his DIN, which must be marked as ‘Approved.’ Directors whose DIN has been deactivated owing to non-filling of the director KYC can still fill out the form after paying late filing penalties if they do so after the due date.

3. Fill out the DIR- 3 KYC Form with the necessary information;

Name and credentials:
Both the applicant’s and his father’s first and last names must be entered. The name entered must be the same as the one on the PAN. The address provided will be checked against the PAN database. Acronyms, abbreviations, and single alphabets are prohibited.

Nationality:
Declaring your nationality is crucial while filing a director KYC form. When it comes to foreign nationals serving as company directors, the nationality specified on the passport shall be chosen.

Address:
It is advised to add the permanent residential address of the directors while filing the DIN KYC form. Kindly ensure that these facts correspond to the evidence of the permanent address that will be included in the Director KYC form:
1. Only if the state selected is NA may a foreign pin code be entered.
2. If the current residential address differs from the permanent residential address, one must also give his/her current residential address.

PAN (Permanent Account Number) Validation:
Declaring your Permanent Account Number is required (PAN). Click the ‘Verify income-tax PAN’ button after entering your PAN information. Based on the PAN card number, the system will validate the information. Please note that for successful validation, the PAN in the form and the PAN in the DSC must match. For successful validation of the form, if the foreign nationals do not have a PAN card, the name on the form must match the name on the DSC.

Contact Information Updates and OTP Verifications:
It is critical to provide the own mobile phone number, which will be validated by an OTP. Only if the individual is not a resident of India will country codes other than +91/91/0 be permitted. One must also enter your personal email address, which will be validated using an OTP. After one has filled out these fields, click the ‘Generate OTP’ button. OTPs will be delivered to the email address and the registered mobile number separately.
