Hello @Archan434
All the directors who have been allotted DIN as on 31st March of any year, have to update their KYCs through DIR-3 KYC. DIR-3 KYC e-Form is to be filed by the DIN holders filing KYC for the first time. Thereafter, KYC can be updated through the web-based DIR-3 KYC form.
Hope this helps!
Looks like both the question and answer is same for this post.
