DIR-3 KYC.
Every individual holding a DIN must confirm their KYC with MCA in Form DIR-3 KYC Web. Since 31 March 2026 this is due once every three financial years, by 30 June, rather than annually, and any change in personal mobile number, email or residential address must be filed within 30 days. A missed KYC deactivates the DIN.
Typically 1–2 working days, as MCA processes the form electronically. Timing depends mainly on you being available for OTP verification and, for updates, on your DSC being registered on the MCA portal.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
Based on your situation, and fixed in writing before any work starts.

- 1
Cycle check
We check your DIN status and when your three-yearly KYC falls due; if you filed for 2025-26, the next window is April to June 2028.
- 2
Particulars review
We verify your name, PAN (or passport), nationality and addresses against your documents, since the form cannot be resubmitted once filed.
- 3
OTP verification
The form verifies your personal mobile number and email by OTP, so we schedule a short session when you can receive them.
- 4
Filing and signing
We submit DIR-3 KYC Web. A routine KYC or reactivation needs no DIN-holder signature; contact or address updates need your DSC, proof of change and a practising professional's certification.

Status confirmation
The form is processed in straight-through mode; we confirm your DIN shows as approved and record your next due date.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.
- DIN, and PAN for Indian nationals or passport for foreign nationals
- Personal mobile number and email for OTP verification
- Proof of residential address, such as Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, voter ID, bank statement or utility bill
- Proof of change, or a self-declaration for a new mobile number or email
- Valid DSC registered on the MCA portal, where the purpose needs a signature
The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.
- Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
