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 nationale 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.
