Overview
What is Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)?
Director KYC is a mandatory annual compliance under the Companies Act, 2013 and MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) Rules. Every person who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) whether or not currently appointed in any company must file or confirm their KYC details with the MCA every year via Form DIR-3 KYC or the DIR-3 KYC Web version.
The purpose is to verify the identity, address, and contact details of all DIN holders, strengthening corporate transparency and governance across India. This is not a one-time exercise it must be repeated every financial year.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
- DIN gets marked as Deactivated after due date
- Flat penalty of ₹5,000 per DIN for late filing
- Director cannot sign resolutions or forms while DIN is inactive
- Company filings may get rejected by MCA portal
- Reactivation requires filing KYC with penalty no waiver available
- Repeat non-compliance may attract scrutiny under Companies Act Section 159
