DIR-3 KYC (Director KYC)

Complete DIR-3 KYC for your directors so DINs stay active — the annual director KYC every DIN holder must file with the MCA.

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

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss DIR-3 KYC?

The DIN is marked deactivated until the KYC is filed, and a late filing attracts an additional statutory fee to reactivate it. Filing on time avoids the disruption — we track the date for you.

Do I file the form every year or just once?

KYC is annual. If your details haven’t changed, many directors can complete a simpler web-based KYC; if details changed or it’s the first time, the DIR-3 KYC form is used. We pick the right one.

I’m a designated partner in an LLP, do I need this?

Yes — DIN/DPIN holders, including LLP designated partners, must complete the annual KYC to keep the number active.
