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
