DIN stands for Director Identification Number. It is a unique identification number allotted to a person who wants to be a director or an existing director of a company. All directors having a valid or expired DIN need to submit their KYC details on the MCA portal annually in eForm DIR-3 KYC.
As per the Ministry of Corporate Affairs announcement, any person who has been allotted “Director Identification Number (DIN/DPIN)” on or before 31st March 2018 and the status of such DIN is ‘Approved’, needs to file eForm DIR-3 KYC to update KYC details on the MCA portal on or before 5th October 2018. This procedure is mandatory for disqualified directors too.
From the Financial Year 2019-20 onwards, it is mandatory for every director who has been allotted a DIN on or before the end of the financial year and whose DIN status is ‘Approved’, will have to file eForm DIR-3 KYC before 30th September the immediately next financial year.
For example, for the financial year 2020-21, the directors or partners who were allotted DIN or DPIN by 31st March 2021 are required to file the DIR-3 KYC form before 30th September 2021.
Any DIN holder who is filing his KYC details for the first time with MCA must file all KYC details only through eForm DIR-3 KYC. Also, any DIN holder who wants to update any information of his KYC details must update the same through the filing of eForm DIR-3 KYC only.
As per the provisions of Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, every individual who is allotted DIN as of 31st March of a financial year must submit his KYC on or before 30th September of the immediately next financial year.
If the DIN holder does not file his annual KYC within the due date of each financial year, such DIN shall be marked as ‘Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’ and will continue to remain in ‘Deactivated’ status until KYC is done with a late fee of ₹5,000.
To re-activate the DIN in the future, the director can file the eForm DIR-3 KYC after paying a late fee of ₹5,000. The late fees would be payable on or after the due date i.e., 30th September of the financial year in which the form is to be filed. The form is mandatory to be filed by all the directors annually within the specified due date to avoid late fees and deactivation of DIN.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
