Annual Compliance

Why DIN eKYC is Mandatory

DIN eKYC (DIR-3 KYC) is a crucial annual compliance mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to verify and update the personal details of directors.

To Keep DIN Status Active

Directors must file DIN eKYC annually to ensure their DIN remains active. Non-compliance results in automatic deactivation of the DIN by the MCA.

Legal Requirement under Companies Act

DIN eKYC is mandatory under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014. It is a statutory obligation for every director with a valid DIN.

Avoid Late Filing Penalty

Failing to file DIR-3 KYC before the due date attracts a penalty of ₹5,000. Filing on time helps avoid unnecessary legal and financial stress.

Ensure Accuracy of MCA Records

The MCA uses KYC data to keep correct and up-to-date director information across all organizations. It ensures transparency and traceability.

Crucial for Corporate Governance

Regular eKYC filing builds credibility and trust in company leadership. It ensures only verified individuals remain in directorial roles, reinforcing good governance.

DIN KYC Importance
Applicability

Who Needs to File DIN eKYC?

DIR-3 KYC filing is not optional — it’s a mandatory annual compliance for anyone who holds a DIN.

Inactive DIN

Every individual who has been allotted a DIN on or before 31st March of the financial year must file DIN eKYC, regardless of whether they are currently active in any company.

This applies to:

  • Executive directors
  • Non-executive/independent directors
  • Directors of dormant or inactive companies

Failing to file before the deadline will lead to DIN deactivation and a penalty of ₹5,000.

Disqualified DIN

Even if a director has been disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act or is not currently serving in any company, DIR-3 KYC is still mandatory.

Filing enables them to maintain or restore their DIN status and stay compliant with MCA rules. It is especially important for those planning to take directorships in the future or resolving past compliance issues.

Form Types

Types of DIR-3 KYC Forms

The MCA provides two filing options: DIR-3 KYC (form-based) and DIR-3 KYC Web (web-based) depending on change in details.

1

DIR-3 KYC (Form-Based Filing)

This is the standard eKYC form for directors who are:

  • Filing for the first time since obtaining their DIN.
  • Have not filed the KYC in prior years.
  • Personal information has to be updated, such as name, email address, or mobile number.

Key Highlights:

  • Requires full details including PAN, Aadhaar, personal email, mobile number, and permanent address.
  • Email and mobile devices necessitate OTP-based verification.
  • Must be authenticated by a professional CA/CS/CMA and digitally signed using the Director’s DSC.
  • Mandatory for every director who has not previously completed their eKYC.
2

DIR-3 KYC Web (Web-Based Filing)

This simplified version is designed for directors who have already filed DIR-3 KYC in the previous financial year and whose details remain unchanged.

Key Highlights:

  • Quick and convenient process through the MCA portal.
  • No requirement for DSC or professional certification.
  • Only basic validation and OTP-based authentication on registered email and mobile.
  • Ideal for completing annual compliance in less than 10 minutes.

Directors with no changes in their credentials can complete KYC faster using the web-based method. Choosing the right DIR-3 KYC form not only saves time but also ensures that your DIN remains active and compliant with MCA regulations. Submitting the incorrect kind can result in rejection, DIN deactivation, and a ₹5,000 penalty for late submission.

Step-By-Step

Registration Process for DIN eKYC Filing

Filing DIR-3 KYC (DIN eKYC) is required for all directors to keep their DIN active and compliant with MCA requirements.

1

Collect and Verify Required Documents

Ensure all documents are ready — including PAN, Aadhaar, mobile number, email ID, passport-size photo, and a valid DSC. Foreign directors must possess a passport.

2

Select the suitable KYC form type

If the director filed DIR-3 KYC in the previous year and details are unchanged, use DIR-3 KYC Web. Use the DIR-3 KYC form for first-time filing or if email/mobile has changed.

3

Fill out the DIR-3 KYC form (if required)

Enter personal details such as full name, PAN/DIN, nationality, contact details, and present address. Ensure mobile and email are unique and OTP-verifiable.

4

Get Documents Attested (if required)

For form-based filing, supporting documents must be certified by a practicing CA, CS, or CMA. Web KYC does not require attestation.

5

Apply Digital Signature (DSC)

Affix a valid DSC before submission. Ensure the DSC is registered and operational on the MCA portal.

6

Verify Contact Details via OTP

Enter separate OTPs received on registered email and mobile number to validate identity.

7

Submit the Form on MCA Portal

Log in to the MCA portal, upload the signed DIR-3 KYC form or complete Web KYC, and submit electronically.

✓

Acknowledgment of Successful Filing

You will receive a confirmation email from MCA along with an SRN (Service Request Number) as proof of compliance. If not filed by the due date (typically 30th September), a penalty of ₹5,000 is levied and the DIN gets deactivated.

Risks

Due Date & Penalty for Non-Filing

Failing to file the KYC before the deadline attracts significant penalties and legal consequences.

Annual Filing Deadline

Fixed Deadline

DIN eKYC file is due on September 30 of each fiscal year. All directors allotted a DIN on or before 31st March must file within this timeline to avoid penalties.

  • First-time filers must use DIR-3 KYC Form.
  • Directors who filed previously and whose details haven’t changed may use the DIR-3 KYC Web form.

Filing before the deadline ensures your DIN remains active and you remain eligible to act as a director in any company.

Late Filing Fees & Consequences

Mandatory Penalty

Late Fee: A penalty of ₹5,000 (one-time) will be levied under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014.

DIN Deactivation: Your DIN will be marked as “Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC”, making you ineligible to sign documents, attend board meetings, or act as a director.

Reactivation: To reactivate the DIN, you must pay the ₹5,000 charge and complete the DIR-3 KYC filing.
