DIN Related Forms & Director KYC

Every director needs a valid Director Identification Number (DIN), and it must be kept active through annual KYC. We handle DIN applications, KYC, and updates so directors stay compliant.

File Your DIN / KYC

What are DIN Related Forms?

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique number every individual must hold before being appointed a director. The Companies Act, 2013 provides a set of forms around the DIN: DIR-3 to apply for a DIN, DIR-3 KYC for the mandatory annual KYC, DIR-6 to update particulars, and others.

Keeping the DIN active and accurate is essential, because a deactivated DIN blocks every filing linked to that director, including annual filings and director changes.

Who Needs DIN Forms?

Individuals proposed to be appointed as directors.
Existing directors completing their annual KYC.
Directors who changed their address, contact details, or name.
Directors whose DIN has been deactivated.
Designated partners of LLPs, who hold a DPIN.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DIN?

A Director Identification Number is a unique identification number that every individual must obtain before being appointed as a director of a company.

What is DIR-3 KYC and who must file it?

DIR-3 KYC is the annual KYC every DIN holder must file to keep the DIN active. It applies to anyone allotted a DIN, whether or not they are currently a director.

What is the due date for DIR-3 KYC?

DIR-3 KYC is filed annually, generally by 30 September for the previous financial year. Filing after the due date attracts a fee to reactivate the DIN.

What happens if DIR-3 KYC is not filed?

The DIN is deactivated and cannot be used for any filings until the KYC is completed along with the prescribed late fee.

How do I update my address or mobile number on my DIN?

Changes to a director's personal particulars are filed in Form DIR-6 with the supporting proof.

Can a director hold more than one DIN?

No. An individual can hold only one DIN. If a second one was allotted by mistake, the extra DIN must be surrendered.
