Overview of Director’s KYC Process – DIR-3 KYC
Director identification number (DIN) refers to a unique identification number allotted to an individual who is willing to be a director or is an existing director of a company. DIN is obtained by filing an application in e-Form DIR-3. However, now 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.
Every Director who has been allotted DIN on or before the end of the financial year, and whose DIN status is ‘Approved’, would be mandatorily required to file form DIR-3 KYC before 30th September of the immediately next financial year. After the expiry of the respective due dates, the system will mark all non-compliant DINs against which the DIR-3 KYC form has not been filed as ‘Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
B. Types of Director KYC Process
Any DIN holder who is filing his KYC details for the first time with MCA must file all KYC details only through e-Form DIR-3 KYC. There is no option for such a person to access the web service for his KYC. Further, any DIN holder who wants to update any information of his KYC details must update the same through the filing of e-Form DIR-3 KYC only. Please note that no update in details can be made by accessing the web service for DIR-3 KYC.

Any DIN holder who has already submitted e-Form DIR-3 KYC in any of the previous financial years and who does not require an update in any of his KYC details as submitted may perform his annual KYC by accessing the DIR-3 KYC web service.
