DIR3-KYC Filing on MCA website

I am trying to file DIR3KYC on MCA website. Earlier under DIN Services there used to be a link where you could confirm OTP for email and mobile phone. That link is no longer there and this used to be very quick instead of filing the form with all documents.

Can anyone share how to file DIR3-KYC for this year for Directors on MCA website?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses challenges faced by users trying to file the DIR3-KYC form on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) website. Initially, users could use a quick web service for OTP verification, but this option has been removed. The conversation clarifies that DIR3-KYC must now be filed via eForm, especially for first-time filers. It also highlights that the MCA portal was upgraded, with the new V3 portal becoming available from September 1st for filing these forms. Users are sharing their experiences with the new portal, including issues with director registration and PAN verification errors, and seeking solutions.

Who can file eForm DIR-3 KYC? 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. There is no option for such a person to access the web-service for his KYC.

Portal for WEB KYC/DIR-3KYC/CHG-1/CHG-4 closed till August 31st. Can be filed on new V3 Portal from September 1 onwards.

Dear Ramakrishnan ji - Thank you. This is what I did not know. Much appreciated.

Sir, you will be able to file form from 1st september, 2022 as MCA comapny's portal is upgrading for few forms one of which is DIR KYC

I checked at MCA site today on Sep 2 and does not seem the link to file DIR 3 KYC Web is still Open. Anyone knows how this can be filed? Thank you again

Create Business User Login for your Directors at FO Login (mca.gov.in) by clicking on Register.

Then the option will be shown if you hover on MCA Services > Company e-filing > DIN related filings.

ok i do understand the director filings are there and is necessary and it has to be done online thru mca website.

Thank you Mr. Ramakrishnan. It worked !

In Filing the DIR3KYC on MCA website, I was able to register but for one of the Directors we are getting an error in registration for V3 Filing as Business User . Here is what happens

One Entering the DIN and PAN it takes you to next screen to validate information and when done it takes you to next screen where Director information is pre-filled and  we get the OTP on both mobile as well as email. On entering the OTP and submitting - I get a error window first saying "something went wrong" and when I close that I get "service error". For other Directors this did not happen and it went smooth as I did it myself.

Does anyone know how to resolve this error ? 

Anyone able to file DIR 3 KYC on new portal.

I am able to fill all details but when I click "Verify Income tax PAN" .. nothing happens.

It neither says PAN is valid... nor it says PAN is invalid. It just show circle icon for a while (as if processing something and then circle icon vanishes)

And when at the end of the page when I click "Next"... nothing happens there too.

It does not show any error and does not go to "Next" step either.

MCA changed DIR-3 KYC rules from March 31, 2026. Key changes:

1. FREQUENCY: Now every 3 years instead of annually. Directors who filed for FY 2025-26 do not need to file again until FY 2028-29 (unless KYC details change).
2. FORM CONSOLIDATION: The old DIR-3 KYC and DIR-3 KYC Web were merged into a single Form DIR-3 KYC Web. The paper-based form is no longer needed.
3. WHO FILES THIS YEAR: Only directors who have never filed DIR-3 KYC before, or those whose 3-year cycle is due, need to file by June 30, 2026. If you already filed last year, you are covered for the next 2 years.
4. PENALTY: Rs 5,000 for late filing or for reactivating a deactivated DIN.

Steps on MCA V3 portal:
- Log into services.mca.gov.in with your director credentials.
- Go to e-filing > DIR-3 KYC Web.
- Fill in PAN, mobile number, email (OTP verification required for both).
- Upload documents if any KYC details differ from PAN records.
- Submit with DSC or EVC.
