File DIR-3 KYC Form Online - KYC for Directors

Q: How to digitally sign DIR-3 KYC?

The DIR-3 KYC form must be digitally signed by the director using a valid DSC (Class 2 or Class 3). For first-time filers or those updating their mobile number/email, OTP verification for these details is also required. Additionally, the e-form needs to be certified by a practicing professional such as a CA, CS, or Cost and Management Accountant (CMA), who will also affix their digital signature.

Q: Is DIR-3 KYC to be filed every year?

Yes, DIR-3 KYC is an annual compliance requirement. Every individual who holds a DIN as of March 31st of a financial year must submit their KYC details on or before September 30th of the immediate next financial year. There are two forms for annual filing: eForm DIR-3 KYC: To be used by first-time filers or those who need to update any KYC details (like mobile number or email ID). DIR-3 KYC Web: To be used by DIN holders who have already submitted eForm DIR-3 KYC in previous financial years and do not require any updates to their KYC details. This is a simpler web-based service.

Q: Is DIR-3 KYC applicable to LLP?

Yes, if you are a partner in an LLP and you hold a Director Identification Number (DIN), you are required to file DIR-3 KYC. This rule applies to all individuals holding a DIN, regardless of whether they are actively managing the LLP or not.

Q: Why is DIR-3 KYC required?

DIR-3 KYC is a crucial compliance requirement for several reasons: Maintaining Accurate Records: It helps the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) maintain an accurate and up-to-date database of directors and DIN holders. Ensuring Transparency: It promotes transparency in corporate governance by ensuring that the personal and contact details of directors are verified and available to the government. Preventing Misuse of DINs: It helps prevent fraudulent activities and the misuse of Director Identification Numbers. Enforcement Function: It facilitates the enforcement functions of the MCA by having current KYC details readily available. Compliance with Law: It is a mandatory statutory requirement under the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014. Deactivation of DIN: Failure to file DIR-3 KYC within the stipulated time can lead to the deactivation of the DIN, requiring a late fee to reactivate it.

Q: How to file DIR 3 KYC for a deactivated DIN?

You can reactivate a deactivated DIN by filing the e-form DIR-3 KYC (or the web-based DIR-3 KYC if applicable) on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. This process requires you to fill in your details, verify them with OTPs sent to your mobile and email, and have the form digitally signed by you and certified by a practicing professional (CA/CS/Cost Accountant). A late filing fee will apply.

Q: What is the penalty for filing Form DIR 3 KYC late?

The penalty for filing Form DIR-3 KYC after the due date (usually September 30th of each year) is ₹5,000. Your DIN will remain deactivated until this form is filed and the penalty is paid.
