If changed → full DIR-3 KYC (with DSC). If same → KYC-Web (OTP only) is enough.

⚠️ KYC-Web is available ONLY if: (1) DIR-3 KYC was already filed in FY 2024-25, AND (2) Mobile, email, and address are unchanged. If either condition fails → full DIR-3 KYC with DSC and CA certification is mandatory.

What Happens If You Miss Sep 30, 2026

DIR-3 KYC Not Filed by Sep 30, 2026 — Cascading Consequences

🚫

Oct 1, 2026 — DIN Deactivated

MCA auto-marks DIN as "Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC" on October 1

Can't Sign MCA Forms

AOC-4, MGT-7, any change form — all require active DIN of signing director

🏢

Company Filings Blocked

If only director's DIN is deactivated — company cannot file annual returns, risks strike-off

💰

₹5,000 to Reactivate

Flat ₹5,000 per DIN to reactivate — must file full DIR-3 KYC form (not KYC-Web)

🪪 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 annually before Sep 30 or surrender DIN via Form DIR-5 to avoid future obligation.

🌍 NRI & Foreign Director KYC

NRI directors must file full DIR-3 KYC — Aadhaar OTP-based KYC-Web is not available for non-residents. 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 KYC-Web fails repeatedly, file full DIR-3 KYC instead.

🏢 DIN Surrender — When to Consider

A person who will never be a director again can surrender DIN via Form DIR-5 — no more annual 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.

📋 CA Certification in Full KYC

Full DIR-3 KYC form must be certified by a practising CA or CS using their professional DSC. The professional verifies document genuineness and information accuracy. TAXAJ files 1,000+ DIR-3 KYC forms annually with same-day submission and 100% accuracy.

FAQ

DIR-3 KYC 2025-26 — Frequently Asked Questions

The deadline for DIR-3 KYC for FY 2025-26 is September 30, 2026. This annual deadline applies to every person holding a DIN (Director Identification Number) — irrespective of whether they are currently a director in any company or LLP. If missed, the DIN is automatically marked "Deactivated" by MCA on October 1, 2026, and a flat fee of ₹5,000 must be paid to reactivate it along with filing the full DIR-3 KYC form.
Yes — DIR-3 KYC is required for every person holding a DIN, even if they are no longer a director in any company. DIN is a permanent identifier — once obtained, annual KYC is mandatory forever (or until DIN is surrendered via Form DIR-5). Even if you resigned from all directorships in previous years, you must file KYC annually before September 30 to keep the DIN active. Many former directors discover their DIN is deactivated when they wish to join a new company — requiring ₹5,000 reactivation fee.
You must file the full DIR-3 KYC form (not KYC-Web) because KYC-Web uses Aadhaar OTP on your registered mobile — if the Aadhaar-linked mobile doesn't match your current number, OTP delivery fails. Steps: (1) First update your Aadhaar with the new mobile at an Aadhaar enrolment centre. (2) Then file full DIR-3 KYC with updated mobile and supporting documents. (3) Full KYC requires DSC and CA certification — contact TAXAJ to assist.
If DIR-3 KYC is not filed by September 30, 2026, the DIN is automatically deactivated on October 1. There is no escalating daily penalty — instead, a flat ₹5,000 fee per DIN is charged to reactivate, regardless of how long the delay is. Whether you file on October 2 or January 15, 2027 — the fee is ₹5,000 per DIN. After paying ₹5,000 and filing full DIR-3 KYC, MCA activates the DIN within 1–3 working days. Note: KYC-Web cannot be used for reactivation — only the full form works.
Yes — designated partners of LLPs hold DINs and must also file DIR-3 KYC annually before September 30. The same conditions for KYC-Web apply: must have filed KYC in FY 2024-25 with no changes in details. The ₹5,000 deactivation penalty applies equally to LLP partners. LLP compliance is generally simpler but DIR-3 KYC is a universal requirement for all DIN holders. TAXAJ handles DIR-3 KYC for both company directors and LLP designated partners.
