As the last date for filing DIR-3 KYC has been expired on 15th September 2018, the non- compliant DIN holder can file the same till 5th October with a fee of Rs. 500, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) said in a statement.

“As you are aware the last date for filing form DIR-3 KYC without fee has expired on 15th September 2018. The process of deactivating the non-compliant DINs has since been completed and their status has been updated as ‘Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’. However, the non-compliant DIN holders may file DIR-3 KYC with a fee of Rs.500 (Rupees Five Hundred Only) from 21st September till 5th October 2018(both days inclusive) to get their DINs reactivated. From 6th October 2018 onwards, a fee of Rs.5000 (Rupees Five Thousand Only) becomes payable for reactivation,” MCA said in a statement.

The Ministry is conducting KYC of all Directors of all companies annually through a new eform viz. DIR-3 KYC. As part of this, every director who has been allotted DIN on or before 31-03-2018 and whose DIN is in ‘Approved’ status, would be mandatorily required to file form DIR-3 KYC on or before 31-08-2018, using his/her own Class – II DSC and the form would be required to be digitally certified by a practicing professional (CS/CA/CMA) using Class-II DSC.
