Why do I need to do this DIR-3 KYC filing

As part of updating its registry, MCA is conducting KYC of all Directors of all companies through the e-form DIR-3 KYC.
Accordingly, every Director or Partner who has been allotted DIN on or before 31/03/2019 and whose DIN is in ‘Approved’ status, is mandatorily required to file form DIR-3 KYC on or before 30th April, 2019.
