DIR 3 KYC
Director identification number (DIN) refers to a unique identification number allotted to an individual willing to be a director or an existing director of a company. DIN is obtained by filing an application in eForm DIR-3, which was initially a single-time process to be carried out by the one who wishes to become a director in one or more companies.
However, with an update in MCA’s registry, it becomes mandatory for all directors having DIN to submit their KYC details in e-Form DIR 3 KYC every year.

- “Please note that the last date for filing DIR-3 KYC for the Financial year 2019-20 has expired on 31st December 2020. The deactivating of the non-compliant DINs is in progress and will be completed shortly. Please note that web service DIR-3 KYC shall not be available for filing during the pendency of this activity. Filing of DIR-3 KYC can be made after completion of the scheduled activity, as above, when the service is made available on the portal after payment of applicable fees. Stakeholders may kindly note and plan accordingly.”
Important Update by MCA – “DIN holders of DINs marked as ‘Deactivated’ due to non-filing of DIR-3KYC/DIR-3 KYC-Web and those Companies whose compliance status has been marked as “ACTIVE non-compliant” due to non-filing of Active Company Tagging Identities and Verification(ACTIVE) e-form are encouraged to become compliant once again in pursuance of the General Circular No. 11 dated 24th March, 2020 & General Circular No.12 dated 30th March 2020 and file DIR-3KYC/DIR-3KYC-Web/ACTIVE as the case may be between 1st April, 2020 to 30th September, 2020 without any filing fee of INR 5000/INR 10000 respectively.”
Type of DIR-3 KYC Filing
The DIN holder can file and update their DIR-3 KYC details through e-Form and web services for the previous financial year. These are two types and details mentioned below:
The web services are available to the DIN holder who has previously submitted the e-Form DIR-3 KYC in the past financial years and does not require an update in KYC details can make annual KYC updation.
KYC Update via Web Services of DIR-3
The holder of DIN filing the KYC details in the initial period as per the MCA should file the particulars of KYC via the e-Form DIR-3 KYC and the web services access is not available to the person. Also, the DIN holder need to update the KYC via the e-Form DIR-3 KYC if the update has to be updated. There is no access to the web services for the updation of DIR-3 KYC.
When a director fails to file the e-Form by the due dates (or extended due date) on MCA 21 portal, the DIN of such director is marked as ‘Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’ by the department. In such cases, the director can re-activate his DIN by filing the missed out e-Form DIR-3 KYC after paying a late fine of INR 5,000.
