Overview

Annual DIN KYC is a mandatory yearly compliance for individuals holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) or Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN). It is governed by Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 and administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through its V3 web-based filing ecosystem.
For Financial Year 2025–26, every individual who has been allotted a DIN or DPIN on or before 31 March 2026 and whose DIN is in “Approved” status must complete DIN KYC on or before 30 September 2026. This requirement applies regardless of whether the individual is actively serving as a director or designated partner during the year.
DIN KYC is a core identity-verification mechanism introduced to eliminate shell directorships, prevent misuse of DINs, and maintain the integrity of the corporate registry. The MCA V3 system treats DIN KYC as a foundational compliance. Non-filing results in automatic DIN deactivation without notice, and once deactivated, the DIN cannot be used for any MCA filing. As a consequence, companies and LLPs associated with such DINs become non-functional from a compliance perspective.
The process requires verification of personal details strictly as per PAN and Aadhaar records, along with OTP-based authentication on the individual’s personal mobile number
and email ID. Where there are changes in particulars or where KYC is being filed for the first
time, Form DIR-3 KYC must be filed using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). If no changes exist and KYC was completed in a previous year, DIR-3 KYC Web can be filed
through OTP verification.
DIN KYC is not a procedural formality; it is a regulatory gatekeeper. From FY 2025–26 onwards, regulators increasingly rely on clean DIN status to assess governance quality. Timely DIN KYC ensures uninterrupted compliance, protects corporate operations, and reinforces the accountability framework expected from directors and designated partners in India’s formalised business environment.
