OVERVIEW

What is DIR-3 DIN KYC Filing?

The Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique identification number assigned to individuals who wish to become directors in Indian companies. Every individual who holds a DIN is required to submit their KYC details to the MCA every year to verify their identity and contact information. The DIR-3 KYC form is used for this purpose, and it must be filed before the due date each year.

If a director fails to file DIR-3 KYC within the stipulated deadline, their DIN will be deactivated by the MCA, preventing them from engaging in directorial activities in any company until the KYC is updated.

Why is DIR-3 DIN KYC Filing Important?

Mandatory Compliance: The MCA has made it compulsory for all directors with a valid DIN to file DIR-3 KYC annually. Failure to comply can result in penalties and deactivation of the DIN.
Prevent Deactivation of DIN: If DIR-3 KYC is not filed, the MCA will deactivate the DIN, which means the director will not be able to perform any corporate activities until it is reactivated by filing the overdue KYC.
Maintain Updated Records: Filing the DIR-3 KYC ensures that the director’s information, such as address and contact details, remains updated in the MCA’s database, facilitating smooth communication.
Avoid Legal and Financial Consequences: Non-compliance can result in fines and legal consequences for both the director and the company, as the director’s actions could be rendered invalid.
Reactivate Deactivated DIN: If your DIN has already been deactivated due to non-filing in previous years, filing the DIR-3 KYC will allow you to reactivate your DIN and resume directorial duties.

Who Needs to File DIR-3 DIN KYC?

All individuals who have been allotted a DIN on or before March 31st of a particular financial year must file the DIR-3 KYC form annually.
The filing is required whether or not the individual is currently a director in any company.
Directors who have not updated their KYC details in previous years must also file DIR-3 KYC to reactivate their DIN.

Types of DIR-3 KYC Filing

DIR-3 KYC Form Filing (For First-Time or Delayed Filing)
- Directors who are filing their KYC for the first time or those who have missed previous deadlines must submit their KYC details using the DIR-3 KYC form. This includes providing identification documents, contact details, and verifying the details with a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
DIR-3 KYC Web (For Subsequent Annual Filings)
- Once a director has filed their DIR-3 KYC form, they can use the DIR-3 KYC Web platform for subsequent annual filings. This is a simplified process that does not require submitting documents again unless there have been changes in the director’s information.
