From the Financial Year 2019-20 onwards, it is mandatory for every director who has been allotted a DIN on or before the end of the financial year and whose DIN is in approved status, will have to file form DIR-3 KYC before 30th September of the immediately next financial year.
The DIN holder can file and update their DIR-3 KYC details through e-Form and web services for the previous financial year. These are two types and details mentioned below:
