Keep your DIN active with mandatory annual KYC.
DIR-3 KYC is a mandatory annual filing that every person holding a Director Identification Number must complete to keep the DIN active. It is the MCA's way of verifying that a director's contact and identity details are current. Directors filing for the first time, or those updating their email or mobile, must file the full DIR-3 KYC form, while those with no changes can complete a simpler web-based OTP verification (DIR-3 KYC Web). The deadline is 30 September each year. If you miss it, your DIN is deactivated and can only be reactivated by filing the KYC along with a ₹5,000 late fee, so timely filing is essential.
Every DIN holder — mandatory once every financial year.
