DIR-3 KYC
DIR-3 KYC filing is a mandatory yearly compliance regulation applicable to all directors having a Director Identification Number (DIN) in India. The MCA developed the regulation to ensure the program is updated and the information is accurate and current. The DIR-3 KYC form is an electronic form that directors must fill out every year to confirm their personal details, contact details, and other applicable information.
The goal of DIR-3 KYC is to develop a database that should contain accurate and up-to-date information about directors across the country. The latter procedure enables checking transparency, avoiding fraud, and achieving a higher level of corporate governance. The Companies govern the process of DIR-3 (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, which may be amended as required.
At CompRegi, we understand the significance of complying with the DIR-3 KYC requirement and aiding directors in making the annual filing a simple exercise.
