Quick Overview

Understand It in 30 Seconds

What is DIR-3 KYC?

A mandatory annual filing that confirms every DIN holder's identity and contact details are current with the MCA — mobile and email verified by one-time passwords each time.

Who must file it?

Every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) allotted on or before the end of the financial year — active director or not, and regardless of how many companies they serve.

Why does it matter?

An unfiled DIR-3 KYC gets your DIN marked "Deactivated due to non-filing" — you cannot sign board resolutions, file ROC forms, or be appointed to a new company until it is reactivated.

Key Benefits

Why Timely DIR-3 KYC Filing Matters

DIN Stays Active

Uninterrupted ability to act as a director and sign statutory filings.

Avoid the ₹5,000 Fee

Filing after the deadline attracts a flat penalty per DIN, regardless of the delay length.

Company Compliance Protected

Your company's own ROC filings don't stall waiting on a deactivated director's DIN.

Quick, Once-a-Year Task

A short annual filing — far cheaper in time and money than reactivation later.

Clean Director Record

An active, verified DIN reflects well in due diligence and KYC checks by banks.

Simple Web Renewal

Once details are unchanged, subsequent years often qualify for the simpler web-based DIR-3 KYC.

Eligibility

Who Must File DIR-3 KYC?

Every DIN Holder

Allotted a DIN on or before 31 March of the relevant financial year.

Active & Inactive Directors

Applies even if you have resigned from all directorships — the DIN itself needs the filing.

First-Time & Repeat Filers

The full e-form applies on first filing or after any detail change; the simpler DIR-3 KYC-WEB applies when nothing has changed.

NRI & Foreign Directors

Foreign nationals holding a DIN must also file, using their passport and overseas address proof.

Due every year by 30 September — miss it, and the DIN status flips to "Deactivated" the very next day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your DIN is marked "Deactivated due to non-filing" the day after the deadline. You cannot use it for any MCA filing until you file DIR-3 KYC again with a ₹5,000 penalty.

Yes — the obligation attaches to the DIN itself, not to an active directorship. Even resigned or non-practising directors must file every year.

The full e-form (with document upload) is needed for first-time filing or whenever any detail changes; the simpler web-based version — just an OTP confirmation — applies when your previously filed details remain unchanged.

Technically yes, but errors in the e-form or OTP mismatches are common and cause rejections that cost you time near the deadline. We handle the process end-to-end to avoid exactly that.

No — DIR-3 KYC is filed once per DIN, not per company. One filing covers all your directorships linked to that DIN.

File the pending DIR-3 KYC along with the ₹5,000 penalty fee — the DIN reactivates on successful filing, usually within a day.

Yes — using their passport and a notarised/apostilled overseas address proof in place of an Aadhaar card, with the same annual deadline applying.

Indirectly, yes — a deactivated director's DIN can block signing of company forms until reactivated, so keeping every director current protects the company's own filing timeline.
