Overview of DIR-3 KYC Filing

DIR-3 KYC and Web KYC are mandatory compliance requirements for directors in India under the Companies Act, 2013, and its associated rules. Directors who have been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) must annually submit their KYC details to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The process involves providing personal details, contact information, and a declaration of any changes through the DIR-3 KYC form or Web KYC portal.

The submission must be completed by the due date each year, typically by September 30th, to avoid deactivation of the DIN. Non-compliance results in penalties and the DIN being marked as “deactivated,” which can affect the director’s ability to participate in company operations. This process ensures the accuracy and authenticity of the director’s information on record with the MCA
