DIR-3 KYC

DIR-3 KYC is a mandatory compliance introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for all directors who have been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN). Every individual who has a DIN must submit their KYC details annually through the DIR-3 KYC form.

The form includes personal details such as mobile number and email address, which must be verified using an OTP. Failure to file DIR-3 KYC can result in the deactivation of the DIN by MCA.

Who should file DIR-3 KYC?

• All directors with a valid DIN allotted on or before the 31st of March of the financial year
• Directors whose DIN is not marked as ‘deactivated’ due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC

Consequences of non-compliance

If DIR-3 KYC is not filed within the due date, the DIN is deactivated by MCA. A penalty of ₹5000 is applicable for reactivation after the due date.
