Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)
Since 31 March 2026, directors and designated partners file KYC once every three years instead of every year, and again whenever their mobile number, email or address changes. FinAura tracks the cycle for every DIN holder in your company, files the KYC with their DSC and OTPs, and keeps their details current so no DIN is deactivated.

A common question
What changed in director KYC in 2026?
The Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Amendment Rules, 2025 replaced annual KYC with a three-year cycle from 31 March 2026, with a single web form. KYC is also due whenever a director's mobile number, email or address changes.
Sources differ on how the first cycle is counted for each DIN, so we confirm each director's due date on the MCA portal rather than assume it.

Questions we get asked
Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC): Questions, Answered
Is DIR-3 KYC still annual?
No. From 31 March 2026 it is once every three years, plus whenever the director's mobile number, email or residential address changes.
What happens if KYC is not filed?
The DIN is marked deactivated until KYC is filed with the fee, and the director cannot sign filings in the meantime.
Do designated partners of LLPs file KYC?
Yes. Anyone holding a DIN or DPIN files KYC.
Can KYC be filed without a DSC?
No. The director's own valid digital signature and OTPs on their mobile and email are needed.
