How it works

From director master to MCA21 acknowledgement.

Step 01

Director master holds the data

DIN, mobile (verified), email (verified), PAN, address and last DIR-3 KYC filing date for every director on every board.

Step 02

Reminders 30, 14 and 3 days before 30 September

Each director gets a calendar reminder before the annual deadline. Group company secretaries see a single dashboard for all directors across the group.

Step 03

Bulk filing for shared directors

Directors who sit on multiple group entities file DIR-3 KYC once at the DIN level. The system handles the cross-entity update automatically.

Step 04

OTP verification and DSC submission

Mobile OTP and email OTP captured during filing. DSC of the director and a CA or CS attests the form. MCA21 acknowledgement and SRN capture follow.

DIR-3 KYC Filing FAQ

What buyers ask.

A director sits on five group entities. Do they file DIR-3 KYC five times?

No. DIR-3 KYC is filed once per DIN, regardless of how many companies the director sits on. The system handles this correctly. One filing updates the DIN status for every entity on which the director sits.

What happens if we miss the 30 September deadline?

A penalty of ₹5,000 per director becomes payable, and the DIN gets deactivated. A deactivated DIN cannot be used to sign any MCA filing or board resolution until DIR-3 KYC is filed with the late fee. The compliance calendar surfaces both the deadline and the penal exposure if a deadline slips.

Mobile and email need to be OTP-verified for DIR-3 KYC. How is that handled?

The director gets the OTP requests on the contact details on the director master. The OTPs are entered on the filing screen. Verified contact details are stored against the DIN with the verification timestamp for the next filing year.

A director changed their mobile number this year. Does that need a separate filing?

A change of mobile or email requires DIR-3 KYC Web (the simpler annual confirmation) rather than the full DIR-3 KYC eForm. The system detects whether the contact has changed since the last KYC filing and serves the right form. First-time KYC after appointment requires the full eForm.
