Annual DIR-3 KYC filing to keep every director's DIN active - a small, easy-to-miss filing whose lapse can deactivate a director's ability to sign anything.
Every director with an active DIN must file by this date each year.
A missed filing deactivates the DIN - the director can't sign any filings until it's reactivated.
Reactivation after the deadline attracts a flat penalty per DIN.
This is a personal filing obligation, not a company one - every individual director must file separately.
We maintain a list of every active director and their DIN status.
Full form or simplified web-based filing, depending on whether details have changed.
If a DIN has already lapsed, we file the reactivation and penalty payment promptly.
DIN KYC is added to your first-year compliance calendar the moment each director is allotted their DIN.
Start your setup →DIN already deactivated? We check every director's status during the compliance health check and reactivate as needed.
Run your diagnostic →We maintain the full director list, not just the ones who happen to remember their own filing.
Well ahead of 30 September, avoiding both the deadline rush and the deactivation penalty.
If a DIN has already lapsed before we're engaged, we prioritize reactivation immediately.
The director cannot sign any ROC filings or board resolutions on behalf of any company until the DIN is reactivated with the penalty paid.
No - DIN KYC is filed once per director annually, regardless of how many companies they're a director of.
Yes - the DIN filing obligation continues as long as the DIN itself remains active, regardless of current directorships.
