Who needs to file the Director KYC

It is mandatory for every person who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) on or before the end of the last financial year, i.e. 31st March, to file the KYC of the director in the prescribed format called the DIR-3 (KYC) Form to the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This means every person with a DIN issued on or before 31st March 2024, is required to file the Form DIN KYC starting 1st April 2024, and must file their KYC before 30th September 2024.  
Even if a person has resigned as a director or doesn’t hold any directorship or is not a designated partner of any LLP, they still need to file the Directors KYC. The only criterion for applicability of filing the Director KYC is the possession of a DIN. It is interesting to note that If a person has been allotted a DIN, the same cannot be surrendered in case it has been previously used in any directorship or as a designated partner of an LLP. The DIN can only be surrendered if the DIN allotted is never used to become a director in a company or designated partner of an LLP.

What are the forms filed for the Director's KYC?

The last date for filing of Director KYC for the Financial Year 2023-24 (ending on 31st March 2024) is 30th September 2024. However, the Director KYC can be filed on or after 1st April 2024 and until 30th September 2024. If the Annual Filing of the DIN KYC is not completed within the due date, then the status of DIN is changed to Deactivated. A deactivated DIN primarily restricts the director’s ability to perform actions as a director.
Every DIN holder whose DIN has been deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC must file eform DIR-3 KYC or perform KYC through the web-service along with applicable fee. Once the form (DIR-3 KYC) is filed, it is approved on STP basis, and the system will automatically reactivate the DIN. Non-compliant DINs’ status would remain ‘Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC.’ However, please note that filing of DIN KYC after its due date attracts an additional government fee of Rs. 5000/-.

What are the forms filed for Director’s KYC?

There are two ways to file Directors’ KYC on the MCA portal www.mca.gov.in web-based and form-based (DIR-3 KYC). The method to use in a particular case depends on two factors: the date of allotment of the Director Identification Number and whether there has been any amendment or change in the DIN Holder’s data, such as changes in phone number, email, or address. Here are the scenarios and the relevant methods for filing Directors’ KYC.
  • First-Time Filing of Director KYC: Typically, in cases where the Director Identification Number is allotted between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024, the director KYC would be filed for the first time in FY 2024-25 on or after 1 April 2024. The first-time KYC filling is done via a PDF-based form, wherein the proof of Identity and Address is also filed along with OTP Verification of the director’s mobile and email.
  • Subsequent Year Director KYC Filing: After the first filing of director KYC in the previous year, a director can use a simplified method of confirming the director’s details through a web-based filing of DIN KYC. The web-based KYC filing can be done by logging in at the MCA portal, but only in those cases where the particulars of the director have not been changed. The web-based KYC Filing is a simplified filing with the help of email and mobile OTP Confirmation
  • When the particulars of DIN has changed: In case there is any change in the particulars of the director, such as the Mobile Number, Email, Address, Citizenship, then such director can not file the web based director KYC. The appropriate method would be to get the details of the directors corrected by filing an amendment application in DIR-6 and there after file the DIR-3(KYC) form.
