DIR-3 KYC Due Date — Filing Calendar 2026-27
Due Date
30th September each year
What is DIR-3 KYC?
DIR-3 KYC is the annual KYC compliance required for all directors holding a Director Identification Number (DIN). It is used to update and verify the director's personal details (mobile, email, address) with MCA. After 30th September, DINs become inactive if KYC is not completed.
Who files it?
Every individual holding a DIN as of 31st March must complete DIR-3 KYC by 30th September of the same year. Even directors who are disqualified or whose companies have been struck off must complete KYC to keep their DIN active.
Late Fee & Penalty
Flat penalty of ₹5,000 for filing after 30th September. There is no daily accrual — it is a one-time ₹5,000 fee regardless of how late it is filed after the deadline.
