⭐ What Is DIN eKYC & Why It Matters

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8‑digit code that every company director must hold. Since 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandates an annual electronic KYC for every DIN holder to: prevent identity fraud & shell directorships, maintain updated contact details, and enable digital service of notices.

FAQs — Your Top Questions Answered

1. What is DIN eKYC and why is it mandatory?

DIN eKYC (via DIR-3 KYC) is an annual compliance requirement by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for all directors. It verifies the director’s mobile number, email, and identity details to ensure regulatory transparency and prevent fake directorships.

2. Who needs to file DIR-3 KYC?

Every individual holding an active Director Identification Number (DIN) as of 31st March of the financial year—whether resident, NRI, or disqualified—must file DIN eKYC before 30th September each year.

3. What happens if I miss the 30th September deadline?

Your DIN will be marked as “Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC”. This prevents you from signing MCA forms or being appointed as a director until reactivation is completed with a ₹5,000 late fee.

4. What is the difference between DIR-3 KYC Form and DIR-3 KYC Web?
  • DIR-3 KYC (Form): Used for first-time filing or when personal details like email/mobile change.

  • DIR-3 KYC Web: Used for repeat filings with no changes in director details.
    Both require OTP verification and DSC.

5. What are the documents required for DIN eKYC filing?
  • Self-attested PAN (for Indian directors)

  • Passport (for foreign nationals)

  • Address proof (Aadhaar, Utility bill, etc.)

  • Mobile & email (for OTP)

  • Valid Class-3 DSC

  • Passport-size photo (in JPEG)

FAQs — Your Top Questions Answered

6. How do I reactivate a deactivated DIN?

You must file DIR-3 KYC (Form) with correct details and pay a flat ₹5,000 late fee online through the MCA portal. DIN reactivation is instant upon successful form submission and MCA approval.

7. Can I use the same email and mobile for multiple DINs or directors?

No. Each DIN must be linked to a unique mobile number and email ID. MCA uses OTP verification to confirm this uniqueness during the filing process.

8. Can an NRI or foreign national file DIR-3 KYC from abroad?

Yes. NRIs and foreign directors must attach a self-attested passport and address proof, which may also require notarization or apostille depending on the country.

9. What if my DSC has expired before filing DIR-3 KYC?

You must first renew or obtain a valid Class-3 DSC linked to your PAN. Without a valid DSC, the MCA portal will not accept your DIR-3 KYC filing.
