This process keeps your Director Identification Number (DIN) active and ensures that your personal details are updated in government records. Missing this filing can lead to penalties and serious compliance issues for both the director and the company.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"765\">If DIR-3 KYC is not filed within the due date, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mca.gov.in\/content\/mca\/global\/en\/foportal\/fologin.html\">Director<\/a> Identification Number (DIN) will be marked as <em data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"625\">Deactivated<\/em> by the MCA. The director cannot sign or file any MCA forms, and a penalty of \u20b95,000 is imposed to reactivate the DIN through late filing.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"1559\">The DIR-3 KYC filing is mandatory for every person who has a valid DIN. It confirms the director\u2019s personal details such as name, address, and contact information with the MCA each year. When a director fails to file this KYC, the MCA system automatically deactivates their DIN with a status of \u201cDeactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC.\u201d This means the director loses the legal authority to sign important company forms like annual returns, financial statements, and other ROC filings. To restore the DIN, the director must file the form along with a late fee of \u20b95,000. This delay can also create hurdles for the company, such as difficulties in completing <a href=\"https:\/\/filingpoint.com\/consultants\/is-it-mandatory-to-file-director-kyc-dir-3-kyc-every-year\/\">ROC filings<\/a>, appointing new directors, or making key business decisions requiring board approval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1617\">Checklist: Steps to Avoid DIR-3 KYC Penalties<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"2056\">\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"1649\">Collect Personal Details:<\/strong> Ensure your PAN, Aadhaar, and email\/mobile are updated.<br data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1708\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1758\">Arrange Digital Signature Certificate (DSC):<\/strong> A valid DSC is needed to sign the form.<br data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1801\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1803\" data-end=\"1827\">File DIR-3 KYC Form:<\/strong> Submit online through the MCA portal before the due date.<br data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"1888\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1890\" data-end=\"1906\">Verify OTPs:<\/strong> Complete email and mobile OTP verification for authentication.<br data-start=\"1969\" data-end=\"1972\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"1995\">Maintain Records:<\/strong> Keep acknowledgment receipts for future compliance checks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2086\">Related Questions<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2087\" data-end=\"2222\">\u2753 <strong data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2121\">Who needs to file DIR-3 KYC?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2124\" \/>\ud83d\udc49 Every individual who holds an active DIN as of 31st March of the financial year must file it.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"2224\" data-end=\"2383\">\u2753 <strong data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2280\">Can a deactivated DIN be used for company filings?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2280\" data-end=\"2283\" \/>\ud83d\udc49 No, a deactivated DIN cannot be used until reactivated by filing the KYC with a \u20b95,000 penalty.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2549\">\u2753 <strong data-start=\"2387\" data-end=\"2436\">Is DIR-3 KYC required for resigned directors?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2436\" data-end=\"2439\" \/>\ud83d\udc49 Yes, if they still hold an active DIN, they must file until it is surrendered or deactivated permanently.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2709\">\u2753 <strong data-start=\"2553\" data-end=\"2594\">What if a director has multiple DINs?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2597\" \/>\ud83d\udc49 Multiple DINs are not allowed.
