consequences of not Filling
In case a director who is supposed to file the e-Form does not file it by 30th September on MCA 21 portal, the department will mark the DIN of such director as ‘Deactivated due to Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
If the director wishes to re-activate his/her DIN in future by filing the missed out e-Form DIR-3 KYC, he can do so after paying a late fee of Rs 5,000. This fee would be payable on or after 30th September of the year in which the e-Form DIR-3 KYC (Web) is to be filed. This form needs to be filed annually by the directors.
