Answer in brief

Every person with a DIN must confirm their KYC with MCA. From 31 March 2026 this is once every three years instead of every year, plus whenever your mobile, email or address changes. We file it on time so your DIN is not deactivated and you avoid the ₹5,000 fee.

Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

What the law says, and what trips people up

From the official portal's manuals and FAQs, with the source for each point.

The law

  • Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014, Rule 12A, substituted by G.S.R. 943(E) dated 31 December 2025, in force 31 March 2026

    Every individual holding a DIN as on 31 March files KYC in Form DIR-3 KYC Web by 30 June of the year following every third consecutive financial yearSource

  • Rule 12A (as substituted), change filing

    Any change in personal mobile number, email or residential address is filed in DIR-3 KYC Web within 30 days of the change, with feeSource

  • Rule 11(2), as amended by G.S.R. 943(E)

    DIN deactivation now refers to not filing particulars in Form DIR-3 KYC Web under Rule 12ASource

  • Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Amendment Rules 2026, G.S.R. 300(E) dated 21 April 2026

    Fee for DIR-3 KYC Web: nil on time; ₹5,000 late or for DIN reactivation; ₹500 for each change filingSource

  • Government fee

    Nil if filed within the Rule 12A(1) timeline; ₹500 for every filing made for a change under Rule 12A(2) (G.S.R. 300(E), 21 April 2026). Source: https://egazette.gov.in/WriteReadData/2026/271973.pdf

On the portal

  1. Login to MCA V3 with the business user ID linked to the DIN
  2. MCA Services > DIN Services > DIR-3 KYC Web
  3. Enter DIN; details prefill from MCA records
  4. Confirm or update mobile, email and address; verify OTPs sent to mobile and email
  5. Affix DSC where the form asks for it (updates, reactivation)
  6. Pay fee if applicable and submit; download the SRN acknowledgement

What trips people up

  • 'DSC is not registered with the Director DIN' error

    Register or re-associate the DSC to the business user ID with Director role and DIN; if email and mobile are inactive, raise a service complaint with the SRNSource

  • Old annual 30 September habit leads to filing too often or missing the new 30 June date

    Track each DIN's three-year cycle and 30-day change ruleSource

  • Practitioner guides give different next due years (2028 or 2029) for the same cohort

    Follow the rule text and ICAI's 30 June 2028 for those who completed KYC; confirm on portalSource
