What is Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)?
DIR-3 KYC is the annual Know Your Customer compliance filing mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for every holder of a Director Identification Number (DIN) or Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN). Introduced in 2018 under Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017, it ensures that every DIN holder is a verifiable, real person — a measure to combat shell companies and fraudulent directorships.
Every DIN holder must file DIR-3 KYC by 30th September each year. MCA automatically deactivates all DINs that are not KYC-compliant on 1st October. A deactivated DIN means the person cannot sign any MCA form — effectively blocking their company or LLP from filing any ROC compliance documents.
There are two types of filing: DIR-3 KYC (full form with documents, required for first-time filers, changed mobile/email, or reactivation) and DIR-3 KYC-Web (simplified OTP-only form for returning filers with no detail changes). Our team handles both efficiently.

Who Needs DIR-3 KYC?
Every DIN or DPIN holder in India — active, dormant, or retired — must file DIR-3 KYC by 30 September every year without exception.
All Directors with Active DIN
Every person holding an active Director Identification Number must file DIR-3 KYC annually — without exception, regardless of company activity.
Directors Who Filed Last Year
Filing is required every year. Filing one year does not exempt you from the next — it is an annual recurring obligation for all DIN holders.
Foreign Nationals as Directors
Foreign nationals serving as directors in Indian companies must file DIR-3 KYC using their passport in lieu of Aadhaar, with apostilled documents.
Dormant Directors Not Currently Active
Directors not currently associated with any company but whose DIN is still APPROVED and not surrendered must file KYC every year.
LLP Designated Partners (DPIN)
Designated partners of LLPs have DPIN which is treated equivalent to DIN. They must complete DIR-3 KYC exactly like company directors.
Directors of Struck-off Companies
Even if your company has been struck off, your DIN still exists in MCA records and requires annual KYC until formally surrendered.
Retired Directors with Active DIN
Directors who have retired from all board positions but have not formally surrendered their DIN must still file annual KYC compliance.
New Appointees Filing First Time
Newly appointed directors filing DIR-3 KYC for the first time must complete the full form with all documents and CA/CS certification.
Key Benefits of DIR-3 KYC Compliance
Timely DIR-3 KYC protects your DIN, your company's compliance chain, and your personal credibility as a corporate officer.
Keep DIN/DPIN APPROVED
Active APPROVED status ensures you can sign MCA forms, ROC filings, and all company compliance documents without interruption.
Avoid ₹5,000 Late Penalty
Late filing after 30 September means the DIN gets deactivated and ₹5,000 must be paid to reactivate — avoidable with timely KYC.
Maintain Director Eligibility
Active DIN is a legal requirement for being a director or designated partner in any company or LLP in India.
Prevent Company Filing Rejection
If any director or partner has an inactive DIN, MCA will reject all company filings — blocking ROC compliance for the entire company.
Keep Bank Accounts Operational
Banks verify director DIN status as part of ongoing KYC. Inactive DIN can trigger account review and operational disruptions.
Continue Without Interruption
Active directors and partners can continue signing forms, attending board meetings, and fulfilling their corporate roles seamlessly.
Simple Annual Process
With professional help, DIR-3 KYC takes just a few minutes. Mobile OTP and email OTP are the only requirements for web-based KYC.
Peace of Mind for Governance
Compliance-conscious directors maintain personal credibility with banks, investors, co-directors, and regulatory authorities.
Step-by-Step DIR-3 KYC Process
Our streamlined process handles DIR-3 KYC filing from DIN status check to MCA APPROVED confirmation — typically completed in 1–2 business days.
Two Types of DIR-3 KYC
DIR-3 KYC-Web
Returning filers, no detail changes — OTP only, no documents
DIR-3 KYC (Full Form)
First-time, changed details, reactivation — documents + CA/CS certification
Aadhaar-linked mobile number is mandatory for Indian residents. Ensure your Aadhaar is seeded with your active mobile before initiating KYC.
Check DIN Status on MCA Portal
Log in to the MCA portal (mca.gov.in) and verify that your DIN or DPIN is currently in APPROVED status. If deactivated, a different process applies.
Determine KYC Type Required
First-time filers or those with changed mobile/email must file the full DIR-3 KYC form with documents. Returning filers with no changes use DIR-3 KYC-Web with OTP only.
Fill DIR-3 KYC Form
For full form: enter personal details, permanent address, present address, mobile number, email, and PAN. Attach photo, PAN, Aadhaar, and proof documents.
Mobile OTP Verification
An OTP is sent to the mobile number registered with Aadhaar. This links your Aadhaar identity to your DIN — a mandatory step for Indian residents.
Email OTP Verification
A second OTP is sent to your personal email address. Both mobile and email OTP must be verified to complete the KYC process successfully.
CA/CS Certification
For the full DIR-3 KYC form (first-time or details changed), certification by a CA or CS in practice is mandatory before submission to MCA.
Upload to MCA Portal
The certified form is uploaded to MCA V3 portal. The system validates the DIN, PAN, Aadhaar, mobile, and email in real time.
Receive APPROVED Status
Upon successful filing, MCA updates the DIN/DPIN status to APPROVED. You receive SRN acknowledgment instantly on the portal.
Documents Required
For DIR-3 KYC-Web (returning filers): only mobile OTP + email OTP needed. For full form: documents below are required.
PAN Card
Mandatory for all Indian directors — must match DIN records
Aadhaar Card
Mobile number must be linked to Aadhaar for OTP verification
Personal Mobile Number
Active number linked to Aadhaar — required for OTP
Personal Email Address
Valid email — receives second OTP verification
Passport Size Photo
Recent clear photograph in digital format
Passport (Foreign Nationals)
In lieu of Aadhaar; apostilled copies may be required
Web KYC only needs: Mobile number linked to Aadhaar (for OTP) + personal email (for OTP). No documents, no CA/CS signature required.
Foreign nationals: Passport + apostilled address proof + CA/CS certification. No Aadhaar required — mobile OTP on foreign number.
