Director KYC (DIR-3) for Delhi Directors

📌 TL;DR - Director KYC (DIR-3) in Delhi Services at a Glance

Mandatory for EVERY DIN holder. Two forms: e-Form (full, CA/CS certified, first-time/changes/reactivation) and Web (simplified OTP, no changes). 2026 amendment: now once every 3 financial years (due 30 June). Changes in details: 30 days via e-Form. Non-filing = automatic DIN deactivation = cannot sign any MCA form = ALL companies blocked. Reactivation: e-Form + Rs 5,000. Patron manages from Delhi.

Consequences of Non-Filing

DIN Deactivated: Cannot act as director. Cannot sign any MCA forms. Immediate, automatic.
Rs 5,000 Penalty: Payable for reactivation. Non-refundable.
Company Filings Blocked: AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-12 — any form requiring that director's DSC is blocked. Late fees Rs 100/day accumulate.
Cascading: Director on 3 companies = ALL 3 blocked. Example: Rs 5,000 (reactivation) + Rs 36,000 (60 days late × 2 forms × 3 companies) = Rs 41,000 from one missed filing.
Regulatory Scrutiny: Repeated non-filing attracts MCA attention. Company flagged.

Common Mistakes Delhi Directors Make

Challenge	Impact	How Patron Accounting Solves It
Company Email Used	MCA requires personal email. Company email = access lost on resignation.	Patron ensures personal email for every Delhi director
Wrong Mobile	Must be personal number linked to Aadhaar. Company phone = OTP failure.	Patron verifies mobile-Aadhaar linkage before filing
Address Not Updated	Relocated but KYC shows old address. Must file e-Form (not Web) with new address.	Patron identifies changes, files correct form
Inactive DIN Forgotten	Resigned years ago but DIN still exists. Gets deactivated. Still must file.	Patron audits all DIN holdings for Delhi clients
Expired DSC	Discovered only when trying to file in last week. Filing blocked.	Patron checks DSC validity in advance, arranges renewal
