Overview
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it compulsory for all individuals with a Director Identification Number (DIN) to complete the DIR-3 KYC filing every year as part of annual compliance requirements. According to Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, it is mandatory for every DIN holder to submit their Know Your Customer (KYC) information for each financial year. Failing to file DIR-3 KYC leads to the deactivation of DIN and attracts a penalty of ₹5,000.
Benefits For Everyone!
Prevents Deactivation of DIN
Filing ensures your DIN remains active and usable for directorship purposes. Without KYC, DIN is deactivated by MCA and cannot be used for company-related activities.
Avoids Penalties of ₹5,000
If not filed by the due date (typically 30th September), MCA levies a hefty late fee. Timely compliance saves money.
Protects Director’s Legal Standing
An inactive DIN means a director cannot sign filings, hold new appointments, or carry out board actions legally.
Ensures Corporate Compliance Credibility
Timely KYC builds a credible compliance record—essential for companies during audits, investor reviews, or government checks.
Enables Future Appointments and Filings
A valid DIN is required to incorporate new companies, file annual returns, or make changes to existing directorships. Without KYC, none of this is possible.
Helps Maintain a Clean MCA Record
Consistent KYC filings enhance the reputation of directors and companies on MCA records.
Streamlines ROC and MCA Communications
Updated KYC ensures that government notices or official communication reach the right individual promptly.
Mandatory for Company Filings
Without an active DIN, company filings that require digital signatures of directors (like AOC-4, MGT-7, etc.) may be invalid.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- 1. Missing the Due Date: Leads to ₹5,000 penalty and DIN deactivation.
- 2. Using Expired DSC: MCA won't accept forms signed using expired or mismatched digital signatures.
- 3. Incorrect Email or Mobile Number: Leads to failed OTP verification and form rejection.
- 4. Uploading Blurry or Unclear Documents: Non-readable PAN/Aadhaar scans may cause rejections.
- 5. Skipping KYC After DIN Allotment: Even new directors must file if they received DIN before the 31st March cutoff.
- 6. Assuming Web KYC is Enough for All: Web-based KYC only works if there are no changes in email/mobile and previous filings were successful.
- 7. Not Using Professional Help: DIY errors lead to delays and higher penalties. Professional assistance ensures accurate filings.
