Overview
What Director KYC involves
Every person holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must file KYC annually with the MCA.
The due date is 30 September each year, for DINs held as of 31 March.
Missing the deadline deactivates the DIN — it cannot sign or authenticate any MCA filing until reactivated.
Reactivation requires filing the full DIR-3 KYC form with a late fee of ₹5,000 per DIN.
Two routes exist: the full e-form (first filing or changed details) and the OTP-based web service (unchanged details).
Benefits
Why directors file their KYC through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Your DIN stays active
A deactivated DIN paralyzes filings for every company the director serves. We make sure yours never reaches that state.
Right filing method, first time
Changed address or phone? We file the full form. Nothing changed? We use the quick web route. Right method, first time.
Reactivation handled
If the deadline already passed, we handle the reactivation — full form plus the late fee — and get the DIN working again.
The mechanics are ours
DSC, OTP, professional certification — the mechanics are fiddly. We handle all of it.
Annual tracking for your team
We track which DINs need filing each year, so this never becomes a September surprise again.
Documents
Documents required for Director KYC
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

Step 1 of 6
Check your DIN status
Every person holding a DIN on 31 March must file DIR-3 KYC for that year — including directors of struck-off companies and those who resigned during the year.
Verify mobile and email with OTP
The MCA portal sends OTPs to the director's personal mobile and email. These must be unique to the director and verified before filing.
Fill Form DIR-3 KYC
We complete the form with current personal and address details. If nothing changed since last year, the shorter KYC web service can be used instead.
Attach documents and get certification
PAN, Aadhaar or passport, address proof, and photograph are attached, and a practising professional certifies the form.
File by 30 September
DIR-3 KYC is due by 30 September each year. Missing it deactivates the DIN and attracts a late fee of ₹5,000.
Confirm DIN stays active
After approval, we verify the DIN shows 'Approved' status — a deactivated DIN blocks all MCA filings by that director.
