DIN eKYC Filing

DIN eKYC Filing – Filing Form DIR-3 KYC

The Director Identification Number (DIN) is a vital identification number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for individuals aspiring to serve as directors in Indian companies. This number helps maintain a record of a director’s involvement in corporate governance.

Why is DIN eKYC Important?

Directors must update their KYC details annually by filing Form DIR-3 KYC with the MCA. Failure to do so can result in the deactivation of their DIN, preventing them from performing corporate responsibilities or holding director positions.

Reactivating a Deactivated DIN

If your DIN has been deactivated due to non-compliance, it can be reactivated by:

  • Filing the DIR-3 KYC form
  • Paying a late fee (if applicable, based on the delay)



    Types of DIR-3 KYC Forms

    1. DIR-3 KYC eForm:
    This form is for directors filing their KYC for the first time. It’s also used by those who need to update details like their mobile number, email address, or other personal information. You can access it on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal.

    2. DIR-3 KYC Web Form:
    This is a simplified version for directors who have already submitted the eForm in the past. Available through the MCA web service, it automatically fills in most details, making the annual KYC filing quicker and easier.
