DIR-3 KYC Compliance: Frequently Asked Questions Answered
Gaurav Kumar

DIR-3 KYC Compliance comes up with a lot of questions, especially for every person holding an active DIN, whether or not currently serving as a director dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.

Who needs to file DIR-3 KYC?

Anyone holding a DIN, active or otherwise, as of the relevant date.

What happens if I miss the deadline?

The DIN gets deactivated, and a penalty typically applies to reactivate it.

Is this a one-time filing?

No, it's an annual requirement.

Can KYC be filed without a mobile OTP?

Generally no, live OTP verification on registered mobile and email is required.

Still Have Questions?

Every business situation is a little different, and DIR-3 KYC Compliance is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.

What You'll Typically Need

  • Valid DIN issued to the individual
  • PAN and Aadhaar for identity verification
  • Personal mobile number and email for OTP verification
  • Digital Signature Certificate for filing
