DIR-3 KYC for Independent Directors, handled by CA Rinky Vishwakarma, ICAI 177507, at SVT & Associates.
Independent directors hold a DIN like any other director and must file DIR-3 KYC Web every three financial years by 30 June. KYC is separate from independent directors databank registration and its proficiency requirements, which are handled by a different body. SVT & Associates files KYC for ₹999.

Independent directors often serve several companies and rely on each company's compliance team to remind them. But because KYC is personal to the DIN, no single company will file it for you, and one lapse affects all your roles at once.
Keep KYC distinct from databank registration in your mind. Databank registration and renewals are separate compliances. DIR-3 KYC is about your identity and contact record with MCA, and a lapse deactivates the DIN itself.

Under Rule 12A as amended with effect from 31 March 2026, DIR-3 KYC is due by 30 June of the year following every third consecutive financial year. Directors who had completed KYC before the change have their next filing due by 30 June 2028. Send us your DIN and we confirm your own date.
No. The annual requirement with a 30 September deadline was replaced by a once-in-three-years filing. What has not changed is the duty to report a new mobile number, email address or residential address within 30 days, which applies at any point in your three-year cycle.
The DIN is deactivated, which blocks the director from signing MCA filings for every company or LLP they serve. Reactivation is done through DIR-3 KYC Web with a flat government fee of ₹5,000. Our professional fee of ₹999 is charged separately, and we confirm the position before you pay.
Only when the filing updates your mobile number, email address or residential address. That kind of filing needs the director's digital signature and certification by a practising CA, CS or CMA. A routine three-yearly KYC with no changes is verified through OTPs sent to your registered mobile and email.
For a routine filing you need your DIN, PAN and access to the mobile number and email registered against the DIN so you can approve OTPs. NRI and foreign directors add passport details. If you are updating an address, keep a recent address proof and your digital signature ready.
Report it through DIR-3 KYC Web within 30 days of the change. This is required even when your three-year KYC is not yet due, and it does not restart your cycle. Because it alters your record, the form needs your digital signature and a CA's certification.
Once we have your DIN, PAN and your OTPs, we typically complete the filing within about one hour during working hours. MCA portal processing and status updates on the DIN itself are outside our control, so we share the acknowledgement as soon as it is generated rather than promise a fixed MCA timeline.
SVT & Associates is a Chartered Accountancy firm, and the filing is prepared and, where certification is required, certified by a practising ICAI-registered CA with a UDIN. You receive the MCA acknowledgement with the Service Request Number so you have proof of every filing we make.
Attendance itself may not be affected, but signing MCA-linked filings and some documents will be. Reactivate promptly to avoid trouble. Since some documents and filings need your digital signature, an inactive DIN quickly becomes a practical problem. Send your DIN and PAN and we confirm the exact position for your case before any fee is charged.
No. KYC is personal. Some companies coordinate for their directors, but each director's filing is theirs. Some companies send reminders as a courtesy, but relying on them is risky when you serve several boards. Send your DIN and PAN and we confirm the exact position for your case before any fee is charged.
