Mandatory KYC for DIN Holders – DIR-3kyc or DIR-3kyc web ?

Due date for filing the DIR-3 KYC form for the financial year 2024–25 is September 30, 2025. This annual compliance is mandatory for all directors holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) as of March 31, 2025.

Who Needs to File DIR-3 KYC?

• First-time filers or those who need to update their details (such as email or mobile number) must file the e-Form DIR-3 KYC.
• Directors who have previously filed and have no changes in their details can complete the process using the DIR-3 KYC Web form.

Penalty for Late Filing

• If the DIR-3 KYC is not filed by the due date, the DIN will be marked as ‘Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
• To reactivate the DIN, a penalty of ₹5,000 must be paid along with the filing of the overdue form.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

• A deactivated DIN restricts the individual from performing any activities as a director, including signing documents or participating in board meetings.
• The director cannot file any forms where a valid DIN is required until the KYC is completed and the DIN is reactivated.

Documents Required for Filing

To file the DIR-3 KYC, the following documents are typically required:

• Self-attested PAN card
• Self-attested Aadhaar card
• Valid mobile number and email ID
• Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
• Passport (if available)

It’s advisable to complete the DIR-3 KYC well before the deadline to avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted functioning as a company director.
