About Director E-KYC (DIR 3)
Every person holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) must keep their KYC details updated with MCA. From 31 March 2026, the requirement changed from an annual filing to once every three financial years, with the due date moved to 30 June.
Directors must still update details within 30 days if their mobile number, email or address changes. NewStarts checks your DIN status and next due date, files DIR-3 KYC Web with OTP verification, and reactivates deactivated DINs.
