What Is Director KYC & Why It Matters

Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) is a mandatory annual filing under the Companies Act, 2013, required from every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) as on 31st March of a financial year, whether or not they currently serve as a director.

Failing to file DIR-3 KYC by the due date results in the DIN being marked as "Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC" on the MCA portal, along with a flat penalty for reactivation — this can also stall other company filings linked to that DIN.

TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete process — document verification, OTP-based mobile & email validation, e-form or Web-KYC filing, and DIN reactivation where needed — so your compliance record stays clean.

A deactivated DIN can block ROC forms that require the director's digital signature.
