DIN eKYC Filing
DIN eKYC Filing is the process of updating and validating the personal data of a Director Identification Number (DIN) holder with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on a yearly basis. This procedure is mandated by the Companies Act of 2013, which was passed in 2013.
To maintain their DIN in a "Active" position, every person who has been assigned a DIN is required to provide their Know Your Customer (KYC) information at the beginning of each fiscal year.
If a person possesses a DIN but is not actively functioning as a director in any firm, then they are required to file a DIR-3 KYC as part of their legal obligations.
To put it another way, DIN eKYC guarantees that the government of India has the most recent and verified information on the identities of all directors in the country.
Who Is Required to Apply for DIN eKYC?
In order to file DIN eKYC, you must:
✅ Every director who possesses a DIN that has been authorised
✅ During the course of the fiscal year, directors were appointed
✅ Individuals who are not currently affiliated with any firm yet who possess DIN certification
✅ LLPs with designated partners that possess DIN credentials
This is a need regardless of whether or not the DIN is being utilised at the moment.
