REASONS FOR KYC OF DIRECTORS?
The government of India is having a view that in many companies the person who is seems to be director of the company are not holding a position. Sometimes many shall companies owners use their drivers, cooks, etc. as directors of the company and they used their email id and phone no, so that the the person don’t know that they are directors in there company registration. This E-KYC would want unique emailed and mobile no, so that the person can be traced easily.
It is welcoming step of government of India trying to identify the fake DIN.
PROCEDURE OF E-KYC OF ALL DIRECTORS:
1. The E-KYC is mandatory for all the directors who has shown active or who has allotted din on or before 31 March 2019.
2. The person should have unique mobile no and unique email id. (Unique means that emailed and phone no should not used by any other person)
3. That email d and phone no, should be verified by OTP and on their emailed and phone no.
4. This form should be filled by DSC of all directors’.
5. The form should be duly certified BT CA/CS /CMA

WHAT HAPPEND IF DIR-3 EKYC IS NOT FILLED?
If a director has not filled DIR-3 E-KYC form then the directors should be termed as deactivated or disqualified and all the penal provision should be attracted accordingly.
