DIR-3 KYC Due Date (MCA)

Under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, every individual holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete DIR-3 KYC filing annually with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The purpose of this compliance requirement is to keep the director database updated with verified contact and identity details.
The DIR-3 KYC due date is 30 September of the relevant compliance year. Every director who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) on or before 31 March of a financial year must complete DIR-3 KYC filing or DIR-3 KYC Web verification before 30 September on the MCA portal.
If the DIN KYC filing is not completed before the due date, the director may face compliance restrictions and the DIN may be marked as “Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC.

Consequences of Non-Filing DIR-3 KYC

Failure to complete DIR-3 KYC filing within the prescribed due date may lead to compliance restrictions on the Director Identification Number (DIN). When the annual director KYC requirement is not fulfilled, the DIN may be marked as “Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC” on the MCA portal. In such cases, the director may not be able to submit company filings or other statutory forms that require a valid DIN.
The DIN is generally reactivated only after the DIR-3 KYC form is filed and the applicable ₹5,000 late fee is paid. For this reason, directors and compliance professionals should ensure that DIN KYC filing is completed within the due date to avoid unnecessary penalties and disruptions in company compliance activities.

Legal Provision for DIR-3 KYC (Rule 12A)

The requirement to file DIR-3 KYC is prescribed under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This rule mandates that every individual who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) must submit their Know Your Customer (KYC) details annually to the Central Government.
The objective of the DIR-3 KYC compliance requirement is to ensure that the MCA maintains an updated database of directors, including their contact details, identity verification, and communication information. Directors can complete this compliance either by filing the DIR-3 KYC form or by using the DIR-3 KYC Web verification facility available on the MCA portal, depending on eligibility.
Failure to comply with Rule 12A and the DIR-3 KYC filing requirement within the prescribed due date may result in the DIN being marked as deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC, and the director must complete the KYC filing along with the applicable late fee of ₹5,000 to restore the DIN status.
