DIN eKYC Filing in India – Annual DIR-3 KYC / DIR-3 KYC-WEB Compliance under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014, MCA V3 Filing & ROC Approvals
DIN eKYC is the annual Know-Your-Customer compliance mandated by the MCA for every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) or a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN). It is governed by Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014 and is filed in Form DIR-3 KYC or its web variant DIR-3 KYC-WEB on the MCA V3 portal. The annual due date is 30th September, covering all DIN / DPIN holders allotted on or before 31st March of the relevant financial year.
Failure to file by the due date results in the DIN being marked "Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC" — disabling the holder from signing any MCA filing on behalf of any company or LLP. Reactivation requires belated KYC filing along with a fixed late fee of ₹5,000. Our DIN eKYC services cover the full chain — DIN-status check, mode selection (e-form vs WEB), OTP verification of mobile / email, photograph and ID-proof readiness, DSC-affixed e-form filing, and audit-ready compliance trail for every director and designated partner.

First KYC After Allotment
Newly allotted DIN / DPIN — first KYC must be filed in the e-form mode with PCS / CA certification and DSC affixation.
Mobile / Email Change
Director's mobile number or email has changed — KYC must be redone via DIR-3 KYC e-form (not WEB) to refresh OTP-verified contact details.
DIN Deactivated
DIN status is "Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC" — belated e-form with ₹5,000 fee needed for reactivation before next MCA filing.
Foreign / NRI Director
Foreign / NRI director's annual KYC — passport, foreign address proof, apostille, and English translations need careful coordination.
Multiple-Group Directors
