DIR-3 KYC filing is a compulsory annual compliance for all Company Directors and LLP Designated Partners who were allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) on or before 31st March of the relevant financial year. The filing must be completed through the MCA V3 portal within the prescribed timeline.
Failing to submit DIR-3 KYC before the due date attracts a ₹5,000 late fee and may also result in additional penalties under Section 450 of the Companies Act, 2013. Timely filing ensures uninterrupted DIN status and avoids unnecessary compliance risks.

What is Director KYC Filing?
Director KYC is an annual identity verification requirement prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Every individual who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) must confirm or update their personal details such as mobile number, email address, and residential address through DIR-3 KYC.
Non-filing within the due date results in automatic DIN deactivation, restricting the director from signing statutory filings, participating in board meetings, or performing official duties until reactivation.
