In this digital age, submitting an eForm DIR-3 application was sufficient to receive DIN. This was a one-time process for anyone interested in becoming a director of one or more businesses. All directors with a DIN will now be required to submit their KYC details annually in eForm DIR-3 KYC, thanks to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs&#8217; (MCA) decision to update its registration.<\/p>\n<p>Any individual who has been assigned a Director Identification Number (DIN) as of March 31st of the previous fiscal year must submit e-form DIR-3-KYC to the Central Government by September 30th of the following fiscal year. Every Director should file the form using his or her own DSC and have it officially certified by a competent expert. The MCA21 platform will designate all approved DINs against which a DIR-3 KYC form has not been filed as \u2018Deactivated&#8217; with the rationale \u2018Non-submission of DIR-3 KYC&#8217; when the due period for filing the KYC form has passed. The filing of DIR-3 KYC in respect of such deactivated DINs after the required date would be permitted for a cost of Rs 5k.<\/p>\n<p>When an individual submits web-form DIR-3 KYC-WEB using the web service in connection to a future financial year after submitting e-form DIR-3 KYC in relation to a prior financial year, it is deemed to be compliance with the provisions for that financial year.<\/p>\n<p>If an individual wishes to file KYC for the first time or to change his or her personal mobile number or e-mail address, he or she must do so by completing and submitting e-form DIR-3 KYC.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_is_Step-by-step_Process_to_File_DIR_3_KYC_Form-_Director_Identification_Number\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Q.: What is Step-by-step Process to File DIR 3 KYC Form- Director Identification Number\u00a0 ?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Step 1: Download the form <\/strong><strong>DIR-3 KYC from the MCA website<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First and foremost step is to download the DIR-3 KYC form from the MCA website<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Step 2: Fill in the DIN details<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Step 3: Furnish the Required Details in the DIR- 3 KYC Form<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Step 4: Permanent Account Number Verification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Step 5: Update Contact Details and Verify OTP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Attachments to be made<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The following documents must be uploaded by the applicant.
