DIR-3 KYC
What DIR-3 KYC means, where you will meet it and what it means for your business.
DefinitionDIR-3 KYC is the annual verification every DIN holder must complete on the MCA portal by 30 September, confirming their identity, address, mobile and email; late filing costs ₹5,000.
The MCA introduced DIR-3 KYC in 2018 to weed out inactive and untraceable directors. Every person who holds a DIN, whether or not they currently sit on a board, must file it once a year. The first time, and after any change in details, it is a full form with a DSC and OTP verification; in later years, if nothing has changed, a simpler web-based version takes a few minutes. You meet it every September. What it means for you: miss the deadline and the DIN is marked deactivated, which blocks every company filing that needs your signature until you pay the ₹5,000 fee and file. Put it on the same calendar as the AGM, and remind co-founders and nominee directors who might not think of it as their problem.
