Annual compliance
DIR-3 KYC filing in India.
File DIR-3 KYC and keep director KYC deadlines organized for Indian companies.
We check the DIN status, collect the director identity and residence details, and file the right DIR-3 KYC variant on the MCA portal before the 30 June deadline of the three-year cycle — so the DIN never gets deactivated and no reactivation fee is ever needed.

Process
How the service works
The workflow is built to be predictable: document collection, legal review, filing, and post-filing follow-through.
Check the director status
We confirm the DIN position and whether the filing is plain KYC compliance or also updates mobile, email or address, which needs digital-signature verification and professional certification.
Collect the KYC inputs
The filing pack gathers the director identity, contact details, address proof, and any updated information that needs to match MCA records.
File the triennial KYC
We submit DIR-3 KYC Web and check that the filing is accepted without triggering a DIN status issue.
Confirm activation and reminders
Once the filing is accepted, we keep the next due date visible (30 June 2028 for directors whose KYC is current) so the same problem does not recur.
AEO summary
From 31 March 2026, every individual holding a Director Identification Number files Form DIR-3 KYC Web once every three years, by 30 June (rule 12A, Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014, as amended by G.S.R. 943(E), 31 Dec 2025) — whether or not they are an active director. Directors whose KYC is current are next due 30 June 2028. Miss the deadline and the DIN is deactivated; reactivation carries a fee of ₹5,000 (Fees Rules Annexure item VII, as substituted by G.S.R. 300(E), 21 Apr 2026). We file it the same day the details are confirmed.
Why this filing gets missed
DIR-3 KYC usually slips through when the compliance calendar is scattered. The due date is fixed, but the director details and signing workflow are often sitting in different places.
A simple reminder system is usually enough to keep the filing from becoming a year-end panic point.
- • The deadline falls once every three years and is hard.
- • The DIN status depends on timely filing.
- • Director data should be collected before the due date.
Which filing variant applies
Plain KYC compliance needs no digital-signature certification. If mobile number, email address or residential address changes, the filing carries director verification and professional certification, which is the data-update trail.
The key point is to make sure the MCA record stays current before the DIN becomes inactive.
- • Plain KYC compliance and DIN re-activation need no certification.
- • Updating mobile, email or address needs director verification and professional certification.
- • A change-of-details filing carries a statutory fee of ₹500 (G.S.R. 300(E)).
