Deadline Reminder
& KYC Requirement Checker
From 31 March 2026, DIN holders file DIR-3 KYC once every three years, by 30 June after the third financial year — not every 30 September. No routine KYC was due in 2026. If you held your DIN on 31 March 2025, your next KYC is due by 30 June 2028; a DIN allotted in FY 2025-26 is due by 30 June 2029. A change in mobile, email or address must still be updated within 30 days.
When Is Each Director’s Next DIR-3 KYC Due?
Enter details for each director — the checker works out the next routine KYC date under the three-year rule, flags any change of details that must be updated within 30 days, and shows what to do about a deactivated DIN. Add up to 5 directors at once.

What Happens If DIR-3 KYC Is Not Filed on Time
If a DIN holder misses the 30 June KYC date, MCA marks the DIN as deactivated. A director with a deactivated DIN cannot sign AOC-4, MGT-7 or any other MCA form, which can hold up the whole company’s filings. Reactivation needs the KYC to be filed with a ₹5,000 fee. A change in mobile, email or address that is not updated within 30 days attracts a higher filing fee.
🪪 Who Must File DIR-3 KYC?
Every person holding a DIN — even if no longer an active director. DIN is a lifetime identifier. This includes current directors, former directors, designated partners of LLPs, independent directors, and anyone who applied for DIN but never used it. File by 30 June once every three years, or surrender the DIN through Form DIR-5 to end the obligation.
🌍 NRI & Foreign Director KYC
NRI and foreign directors usually cannot complete Aadhaar-based OTP verification, so their KYC needs notarised or apostilled documents. Required: valid foreign passport (notarised + apostilled), foreign address proof, and Aadhaar (if available). For foreign nationals: passport and address proof must be notarised and apostilled per the Hague Convention.
📱 Aadhaar OTP Issues
KYC-Web requires Aadhaar-linked mobile OTP. Common fixes: (1) Update Aadhaar mobile at enrolment centre if changed, (2) Try different browser / clear cache, (3) 24-hour wait if multiple OTP attempts failed, (4) Unlock Aadhaar at UIDAI if voluntarily locked. If OTP verification keeps failing, fix the Aadhaar mobile link before filing.
🏢 DIN Surrender — When to Consider
A person who will never be a director again can surrender DIN via Form DIR-5 — no further KYC obligation. Condition: no current directorship in any company or LLP. Once surrendered, DIN cannot be reactivated. Useful for retired directors or those who got DIN but never used it.
⏰ OTP Validity During KYC-Web
During KYC-Web filing: Aadhaar OTP valid for 10 minutes, Email OTP valid for 15 minutes. Both must be validated in the same session. Session times out in 30 minutes. Tip: keep your mobile and email inbox ready before starting the MCA portal session.
📋 Professional Certification
Where MCA requires the e-form with documents (for example to reactivate a deactivated DIN or for a foreign director), it is signed with the director’s DSC and certified by a practising CA, CS or CMA. TAXAJ files 1,000+ DIR-3 KYC forms annually with same-day submission and 100% accuracy.
