DIR-3 KYC When You Are a Director in Many Companies

DIR-3 KYC for Multiple Directorships, handled by CA Rinky Vishwakarma, ICAI 177507, at SVT & Associates.

₹999Professional fee · MCA fee shown separately

KYC belongs to the individual, not the company, so a director in many companies files one DIR-3 KYC Web for their single DIN every three financial years. That one filing covers every company and LLP. A deactivated DIN, however, blocks signatures across all of them at once.

DIR-3 KYC When You Are a Director in Many Companies

Directors with many roles often receive repeated reminders from different companies, each assuming you file separately. You do not. One DIN, one KYC, one date.

The flip side is concentration risk. If your DIN is deactivated, every company you serve is affected at once, so multi-board directors benefit most from a clear status and a tracked due date.

One practical tip: list every company or LLP you serve next to your DIN, with the date each appointment began. It helps when a company secretary asks about your status, and it shows at a glance how many boards a lapse would affect.

Common Questions

When is DIR-3 KYC due now?

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.

Do I still have to file DIR-3 KYC every year?

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.

What happens if I miss DIR-3 KYC?

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.

Do I need a digital signature certificate for DIR-3 KYC?

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.

Which documents do I need to share?

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.

What if I change my mobile number, email or address?

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.

How long does the filing take with SVT & Associates?

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.

Who files it, and what do I get at the end?

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.

Will each company's compliance team file KYC for me?

No. The filing is personal, though a team may coordinate reminders. We can do it for you in a single round. Coordinating reminders is useful, but the filing itself is always the individual's. Send your DIN and PAN and we confirm the exact position for your case before any fee is charged.

Do I need a separate DIN per company?

No. A person can hold only one DIN, which serves all directorships. Any appointment you receive later will use the same DIN, so its KYC cycle continues unchanged. Send your DIN and PAN and we confirm the exact position for your case before any fee is charged.
