DIN Reactivation – Filing Form DIR-3 KYC

Reclaim Your Director Role with Ease

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique identification issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for individuals intending to serve as directors in Indian companies. It plays a crucial role in maintaining transparency and tracking directorial roles across various organizations.

As per MCA guidelines, every director must update their KYC details annually by filing Form DIR-3 KYC. Failure to file on time results in DIN deactivation, restricting your ability to function as a director until the issue is resolved.

What Happens If Your DIN Is Deactivated?

If your DIN is deactivated due to non-filing, you won’t be able to:

  • Serve as a director in any company
  • Authorize filings with the MCA
  • Participate in board meetings
  • Sign official documents on behalf of the company



    How to Reactivate Your DIN?

    Reactivating a DIN involves filing Form DIR-3 KYC and, in some cases, paying a late fee (₹5,000 as per MCA rules). The steps include:

    1. Filling out Form DIR-3 KYC: Updating personal and contact details like PAN, Aadhaar, email, and mobile number.
    2. Digital Signature: The form must be signed using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
    3. Submission & Payment: File the form with the MCA portal and pay the applicable fee (if late).
    4. DIN Reactivation Confirmation: Once approved, the DIN will be reactivated, and you can resume your directorial responsibilities.
