DIR 3 KYC Filing Online is a mandatory annual filing every DIN holder must complete with the MCA to keep that DIN active, distinct from but often filed alongside a separate DPT 3 disclosure certain companies owe.
Every individual ever allotted a Director Identification Number must complete DIR 3 KYC Filing Online annually, regardless of whether they currently serve as a director anywhere — the DIN itself triggers the obligation.
Missing this annual filing gets the DIN marked deactivated by the MCA, blocking new directorship appointments until the KYC is completed again with a late fee.
DPT 3 is a separate filing certain companies must submit annually disclosing outstanding loans and deposits not treated as deposits under the Companies Act — founders often confuse the two since both are annual MCA items.
bizOversal tracks DIN status for every director and files this annual update proactively, while separately assessing which companies owe a DPT 3 filing.
