In order to update its registry, MCA bought up Form DIR 3 KYC- It is basically “KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER” data of a director wherein the details like their address, mobile number, and e-mail ID are updated in the records of MCA.
So, every person who has been allotted DIN whether or not appointed as a director must file e-form DIR 3 KYC to keep their DIN status active.
The Central Government shall deactivate the Director Identification Number (DIN), of an individual who does not intimate his particulars in e-form DIR-3-KYC within the stipulated time.
The intent behind this is to verify the details of directors and to eliminate ghost directors whose name is just used for regulatory requirements.
