DIN eKYC Filling.

DIN eKYC Filing – Filing Form DIR-3 KYC

📌 What is Director Identification Number (DIN)?

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is an 8-digit unique number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to every individual aspiring to be a director in Indian companies. It serves as a vital identifier for directors and helps maintain records related to corporate governance.

📝 What is DIN eKYC Filing?

Initially, DIN was obtained by filing eForm DIR-3 just once at the time of appointment as a director. However, due to recent MCA amendments, all directors holding DIN must now update their KYC (Know Your Customer) details annually via Form DIR-3 KYC to keep their DIN active.

🔍 What is Form DIR-3 KYC?

Form DIR-3 KYC is an electronic form mandated by MCA for updating the KYC details of directors holding a DIN. It ensures the Registrar of Companies (ROC) has up-to-date personal information such as contact details and address.

⚖️ Applicability of Form DIR-3 KYC

• Applicable to all individuals with a DIN that is in approved status as of 31st March of the financial year.
• Includes disqualified directors as well.
• Mandatory annual filing as per the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014.

📅 Annual Filing Deadline

• The form must be filed by 30th September every year.
• Extensions may be granted occasionally, but timely filing is strongly advised.

📄 Types of DIR-3 KYC Forms

• DIR-3 KYC eForm: For first-time filers or those needing to update key details (mobile number, email, etc.).
• DIR-3 KYC Web Form: A simplified form for directors who have already filed DIR-3 KYC previously, pre-filling most data for easier annual compliance.

📋 Documents Required for DIR-3 KYC Filing

• Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): Linked to the individual’s PAN.
• PAN Card: Self-attested copy.
• Proof of Address: Self-attested copy of Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Driving License.
• Photograph: Self-attested passport photo (mandatory for foreign nationals).
• Contact Info: Personal mobile number and email address for OTP verification.

⚠️ Penalty for Non-Filing

• Failure to file DIR-3 KYC by the deadline attracts a penalty of INR 5,000.
• Non-filing leads to DIN deactivation, restricting a director from functioning in corporate roles.

🚫 DIN Deactivation & Reactivation Process

• If DIR-3 KYC is not filed by 30th September, DIN is marked as ‘Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
• To reactivate, directors must file the DIR-3 KYC form (sometimes paying a late fee) and complete the verification process.
• After successful submission, the system automatically reactivates the DIN via Straight Through Processing (STP).
