DIN eKYC Overview

A yearly ritual for every director โ€” confirming that the details attached to a Director Identification Number are still accurate.

Quick answer

Every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) as on 31st March of a financial year must complete DIR-3 KYC by 30th September of that year. First-time KYC or KYC after a change in details (mobile, email, address) requires the full Form DIR-3 KYC with OTP verification; if the director's details are unchanged from the previous year, the simpler DIR-3 KYC-WEB service can be used instead.

How we work

Our process

From initial consultation to completion.

Why choose us

Why this filing gets missed

What sets our approach apart.

Annual, not one-time

Unlike many other filings, DIR-3 KYC has to be done every single year regardless of company activity.

Deactivation is automatic

The MCA deactivates a DIN automatically if KYC is not filed by the deadline, without further individual notice.

Affects every associated company

A deactivated DIN blocks filings for every company the director is associated with, not just one.
