A Director Identification Number is a unique number allotted to an individual who wishes to become, or is already serving as, a company director.
Although obtaining a DIN was previously a one-time process through e-Form DIR-3, every DIN holder must now submit KYC details annually through e-Form DIR-3 KYC so the Ministry of Corporate Affairs can keep its records current.
LegallensIndia assists directors with DIR-3 KYC filing and ongoing MCA compliance.
Form DIR-3 KYC is an electronic form mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to update the Know Your Customer details of individuals who have been allotted a Director Identification Number.
It is a mandatory filing under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 for individuals whose DIN status is approved.
The annual filing keeps director details held by the Registrar of Companies accurate, including residential addresses, mobile numbers, and email addresses.
This form is used for the first KYC filing after a DIN is allotted.
It is also required when the director needs to change or update KYC information, such as a mobile number or email address.
This option is available to a director who filed DIR-3 KYC or DIR-3 KYC Web in a previous year and has no changes to report.
The director's basic information is pre-filled from the MCA database and cannot be edited in the web version.
If DIR-3 KYC is not filed on the MCA21 portal by the applicable due date, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs marks the DIN as “Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC.”
To reactivate the DIN, the director must submit the pending DIR-3 KYC. The supplied content states that a late fee of ₹5,000 applies for reactivation on or after 30 September of the relevant year.
Visit the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website and select Sign In or Sign Up.
Existing users can enter their User ID and password. New users must register by providing the required details and then log in with the credentials created during registration.
Open MCA Services, navigate to Company e-Filing and DIN Related Filings, and select Form DIR-3 KYC or Form DIR-3 KYC Web.
Enter the DIN, personal mobile number, and email address. Enter the separate OTPs delivered to the mobile number and email address, then proceed to the next step.
Provide the director's full name, father's name, nationality, date of birth, gender, PAN, verified mobile number, verified email address, Aadhaar number, permanent address, and present address.
In DIR-3 KYC Web, most details are pre-filled from the MCA database, so only information that is not already populated must be entered.
PAN declaration is mandatory and must be checked using Verify Income-tax PAN. For a foreign national without a PAN, the name in the form must exactly match the name in the Digital Signature Certificate.
Upload the required supporting documents and declare that the information supplied in the form is true and correct.
Attach the director's own DSC. A practising CA, CS, or Cost Accountant must also digitally sign the form and provide their membership and professional details.
After completing the details and certification, submit the DIR-3 KYC form.
