FAQs

What happens if I miss the DIR-3 KYC deadline?

The DIN is marked deactivated and cannot be used for any filing. Reactivation requires filing the KYC with a ₹5,000 fee — for a filing that costs nothing if done on time.

Do I file the full form or the web version every year?

The full DIR-3 KYC is filed the first time and whenever details change. In other years a web-based confirmation suffices. We determine which applies to you.
