Form DIR-3 KYC
DIR-3 KYC — Director KYC
Annual KYC of every director holding a DIN.
About the filing
What is DIR-3 KYC?
DIR-3 KYC is the annual verification of every director's identity, mobile number and email address by the MCA. It ensures the register of directors remains accurate. Directors filing for the first time (or updating any KYC detail) file DIR-3 KYC form; those with no change file the simpler DIR-3 KYC Web.
Applicability
Every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) as on 31 March of a financial year — active or not, whether currently on a board or not.
Due Date
On or before 30 September every year for the DIN held as on 31 March.
Penalty on Default
DIN is marked 'Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC'. Reactivation requires filing DIR-3 KYC with a late fee of Rs. 5,000.
