DIR-3 KYC for Directors

Every person who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete an annual KYC with the MCA — even if they are not currently a director in any active company. It is a simple filing, but the penalty for missing it is disproportionate.

Miss the 30 September deadline and your DIN is deactivated, with a ₹5,000 fee to reactivate it — and a deactivated DIN blocks you from signing any company filing.

Key features and requirements

  • Mandatory annually for every DIN holder
  • Due by 30 September each year
  • Web-based KYC (DIR-3 KYC Web) for those already verified, or the full eForm for updates
  • A deactivated DIN blocks all company filings by that director
  • Reactivation after the deadline costs ₹5,000

How TaxSastra handles this

We file DIR-3 KYC for all your directors before the deadline every year — and reactivate any DIN that has already lapsed — so no director’s signing ability is ever blocked.
