Director KYC (officially DIR-3 KYC) is a mandatory annual compliance filing required by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014. Every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) — whether or not they are currently a director in any company — must complete the KYC filing by 30 September every year. Failure to file results in automatic deactivation of the DIN, and the director is charged ₹5,000 to reactivate it after the deadline.
Every DIN holder must file DIR-3 KYC annually by September 30, regardless of whether they are active in any company currently.
All directors of private limited companies must file DIR-3 KYC every year, even if no change occurred. Non-filing deactivates the DIN.
Directors of public limited companies, listed companies, and Section 8 (not-for-profit) companies are all required to complete the annual KYC.
Designated Partners of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) who hold a DIN must file DIR-3 KYC by the September 30 deadline each year.
Non-Resident Indians and foreign nationals who are directors of Indian companies and hold a DIN must also file annual KYC using passport-based verification.
Even directors who have resigned from all companies or been disqualified must still file DIR-3 KYC annually to keep their DIN active for future use.
Directors who received their DIN during the current financial year must file DIR-3 KYC for the first time in the same year, by September 30.
Miss the deadline and your DIN gets deactivated — costing ₹5,000 to reactivate. File now with expert CA support, same-day processing.
Why ClearlyComply clients always file before the deadline
Keep these ready to complete your Director KYC filing quickly
Our streamlined process — certified CA/CS verification, same-day filing
Send us your DIN, PAN, Aadhaar, and contact details via our secure portal or WhatsApp. Takes less than 5 minutes.
Our CA/CS verifies your details against MCA records, fills the DIR-3 KYC eForm, and checks for any discrepancies in existing records.
You receive and share the OTPs on your Aadhaar-linked mobile and registered email. The form is authenticated via these OTPs.
A practicing CA or CS digitally signs the DIR-3 KYC form as required under MCA21 portal rules, certifying your identity details.
The form is submitted on the MCA21 V3 portal. Service Request Number (SRN) is generated — your DIN remains active for the year.

We send August and September reminders to all our clients so no DIN ever gets deactivated. One less thing to worry about each year.

All-inclusive fees. CA/CS verification included. Same-day processing.
The annual deadline is 30 September every year. Filing is free before the deadline. After September 30, MCA charges a ₹5,000 late filing penalty to reactivate the DIN. File early to avoid the rush and the penalty.
Yes. Directors who received their DIN during the current financial year must file DIR-3 KYC for the first time in the same year. Subsequent filings are due every year by September 30, regardless of when the DIN was issued.
The MCA system automatically deactivates the DIN after September 30 for non-filers. A deactivated DIN cannot be used for any MCA filing, board resolutions, or director appointments. You must pay ₹5,000 to MCA and file the late DIR-3 KYC to reactivate it.
Yes. NRI and foreign directors use passport-based KYC instead of Aadhaar OTP. You need a valid passport, a unique personal email, and a mobile number. ClearlyComply handles NRI director KYC filing completely remotely — no India visit required.
Web-based DIR-3 KYC (available on MCA21 V3) is used when no changes need to be made to existing details — it requires OTP verification only. The DIR-3 KYC eForm (DSC-based) is used when updating address, mobile, or email. Our experts determine the correct form for your situation.
If a director's DIN is deactivated, the company cannot include that director in any MCA filing — including annual returns (MGT-7), financial statements (AOC-4), or board resolutions requiring director signatures. This can cascade into the company's own non-compliance status. File before the deadline to protect both the director and the company.
The DIR-3 KYC eForm (used when updating details) requires digital signature from a practicing CA or CS. The web-based KYC (no changes) can be self-filed using OTP. However, errors in self-filing or form mismatches are common — ClearlyComply's ₹499 service ensures error-free filing with CA certification included.
