The current version on my machine is Microsoft SQL Server 2016 RTM. Can I apply SP3 directly? Or should I first apply SP1, SP2 and then SP3?

Hi @Chaitanya Kiran
Yes, service packs are cumulative and you can apply SP3 directly without going through SP1 and SP2.

You can - and should - apply SP3 directly.
