What is DIR-3 KYC?
DIR-3 KYC is the annual KYC verification mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for every active Director Identification Number (DIN) holder. Introduced in 2018 to clean up dormant DIN records, it requires every director — even those of inactive companies, LLPs, or directors with no current directorship — to verify their identity each financial year.
Two filing modes: **DIR-3 KYC e-form** (first-time filers, or any year details have changed) and **DIR-3 KYC-WEB** (a simple web-based confirmation for repeat filers whose details haven't changed). Deadline: September 30 every year. Miss it and your DIN is deactivated, attracting a flat ₹5,000 reactivation penalty.

DIR-3 KYC e-form vs DIR-3 KYC-WEB — Quick Comparison
Both forms serve the same legal requirement: annual identity confirmation by every active DIN holder. The difference is who can use which one.
DIR-3 KYC (e-form) is the full filing. It is mandatory the first time you ever file KYC for a DIN, and any subsequent year where any detail has changed — mobile number, email ID, permanent address, or present address. The e-form requires a valid Class-3 DSC, attestation by a practising CA / CS / CMA, and uploads of PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof. Filing window: April 1 to September 30 of each financial year. Late filing requires DIN reactivation with a flat ₹5,000 government penalty.
DIR-3 KYC-WEB is a simplified click-through confirmation. It is available only if you have already filed the full e-form at least once in any earlier year AND none of your KYC details have changed since that last filing. KYC-WEB uses Aadhaar OTP for authentication — no DSC, no professional attestation, no document upload required. It typically takes under 5 minutes. KYC-WEB is also subject to the September 30 deadline; once you miss it, you cannot use KYC-WEB to catch up — you must file the full e-form and pay the ₹5,000 penalty.
Practical guidance: if this is your first DIR-3 KYC for a DIN, you must file the e-form. If you filed last year and nothing has changed (same mobile, same email, same address), KYC-WEB is sufficient. If you changed any detail — even just an email ID switch from Gmail to your company domain — file the full e-form, not KYC-WEB. If September 30 has passed, only the e-form route plus ₹5,000 penalty exists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who has to file DIR-3 KYC?
Every individual who holds a DIN as of March 31, regardless of whether they're currently a director or not. Even if your only company is dormant, you must file.
What is the difference between DIR-3 KYC e-form and DIR-3 KYC-WEB?
DIR-3 KYC (e-form) is the full annual KYC filing — required for first-time filers, anyone whose mobile / email / address has changed, and anyone filing after the September 30 deadline. It needs documents (PAN, Aadhaar, address proof), a Class-3 DSC, and CA/CS attestation. DIR-3 KYC-WEB is a simplified web-based confirmation for repeat filers — available only if you filed the full e-form in any prior year AND your mobile, email, address are exactly unchanged from the last filing. KYC-WEB takes 5 minutes via OTP, no DSC, no CA attestation, no document upload.
When can I use DIR-3 KYC-WEB instead of the e-form?
You can use KYC-WEB only if all of these are true: (1) You've already filed the full DIR-3 KYC e-form at least once in any prior year, (2) Your mobile number on MCA records is unchanged, (3) Your email ID is unchanged, (4) Your address (permanent and present) is unchanged, (5) Your filing is on or before the September 30 deadline. If any of these change — even just adding a new email — you must file the full e-form again that year.
Is DIR-3 KYC-WEB free?
There is no MCA filing fee for KYC-WEB if filed by the September 30 deadline. After September 30, the DIN is deactivated and a ₹5,000 reactivation fee applies along with the full e-form (KYC-WEB is not available post-deadline).
Do I need a DSC for DIR-3 KYC-WEB?
No. KYC-WEB uses Aadhaar OTP authentication on the registered mobile and email. The e-form, in contrast, requires a valid Class-3 DSC and CA/CS attestation.
What happens if I miss the September 30 deadline?
Your DIN is deactivated. You can't sign any MCA filing (AOC-4, MGT-7, etc.) until reactivated. Reactivation = filing the full DIR-3 KYC e-form (not KYC-WEB) and paying a ₹5,000 government penalty per director. No waiver, no exception, no quarterly grace.
Can a foreign director file DIR-3 KYC?
Yes — but with apostilled/notarised documents from country of residence + a working foreign mobile number for OTP. We handle apostille coordination separately. NRIs already with Indian Aadhaar can use the standard process.
I resigned from all my directorships. Do I still need to file?
Yes, as long as the DIN exists. To stop DIR-3 KYC obligations entirely, surrender the DIN via Form DIR-5 (only possible if you've never been a director, or all directorships are properly closed).
What does the process look like?
Fill the form → expert calls within 30 minutes → share documents on WhatsApp → we file → you receive certificates / acknowledgements. Zero office visits.
Are there hidden fees beyond the offer price?
No. The offer price covers the full scope listed in the bundle. Government fees (where applicable, like ROC for incorporations) are passed through at actuals — disclosed upfront before you pay.
