Director KYC
Annual Compliance for Directors in India
Director KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory annual compliance requirement for directors in India, enforced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). All individuals holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete this process annually to keep their DIN active and updated in the MCA’s records.
