Directors KYC: annual filing of e form DIR 3 KYC required; non filing leads to DIN deactivation and re activation on compliance. The amendment mandates annual submission of e form DIR 3 KYC by every individual allotted a DIN as on 31 March, to be filed by 30 April next year (transitional filing by 31 August 2018 for existing DINs). Failure to file permits deactivation of the DIN by the competent authority; re activation requires filing DIR 3 KYC and payment of prescribed fees. FORM NO. DIR 3 KYC prescribes mandatory identity and address proofs, certifications by the director and the certifying professional, declarations on disqualification and duplicate DINs, and liability for false statements.
