Overview

DIR-3 KYC is the annual KYC that every person holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete with the MCA. It keeps the DIN active; a DIN that misses KYC is marked deactivated until the KYC is filed.

CapEasy collects the right details, verifies the contact information through OTP and files DIR-3 KYC (or the web-based KYC where eligible) for each of your directors, well before the deadline.

Who it’s for

  • Anyone who holds a DIN — including directors of companies and designated partners of LLPs
  • First-time DIN holders completing KYC after allotment
  • Directors whose DIN has been deactivated for a missed KYC

Eligibility & requirements

  • A valid DIN for each director
  • A unique personal mobile number and email for OTP verification
  • Self-attested identity and address proof

How CapEasy handles it

  1. Confirm each director’s DIN status and which KYC route applies (form vs web)
  2. Collect and verify identity, address and contact details
  3. Complete OTP verification of the mobile and email
  4. File DIR-3 KYC and confirm the DIN remains active

Documents you’ll typically need

  • PAN and Aadhaar (and passport for foreign nationals) of the director
  • Proof of present address
  • Personal mobile number and email for OTP
