Every individual who holds a DIN (Director Identification Number) must file DIR-3 KYC or DIR-3 KYC-Web by this date to keep their DIN in active status.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is DIR-3 KYC?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”DIR-3 KYC is the annual KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance form for directors holding a DIN (Director Identification Number). It was introduced by MCA to verify that the mobile number, email address, PAN, and Aadhaar of every DIN holder are up to date. It must be filed annually by 30 September.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the difference between DIR-3 KYC and DIR-3 KYC-Web?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”DIR-3 KYC (full form) is for first-time filers and directors with updated details — it requires DSC signing, document upload (PAN, Aadhaar, address proof), and CA certification. DIR-3 KYC-Web is a simplified annual renewal for directors who have already filed DIR-3 KYC previously and have no changes — it requires only OTP verification on the registered mobile and email, and no DSC or document upload.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the penalty for not filing DIR-3 KYC on time?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”If DIR-3 KYC is not filed by 30 September, MCA deactivates the DIN. Reactivation requires filing DIR-3 KYC with a late fee of ₹5,000. There is no daily penalty — but the DIN stays deactivated until the ₹5,000 is paid and the form is filed. A deactivated DIN cannot be used to sign any MCA forms.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”Can DIR-3 KYC be filed without a CA?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”The full Form DIR-3 KYC requires certification by a practising CA, CS, or CMA in addition to DSC signing by the director. DIR-3 KYC-Web (the simplified renewal form for returning filers with no changes) does not require CA certification — only OTP verification. Most directors who have filed previously qualify for DIR-3 KYC-Web.”}}]}
