Unlike most compliance filings tied to a company, DIR-3 KYC is tied to the individual: once you hold a DIN, this obligation continues every year regardless of whether you are currently appointed to any board.
Missing the deadline deactivates the DIN, which then blocks that person from being validly appointed or continuing as a director until the KYC is completed, along with a late filing fee.
This is a quick-reference summary, not a filing walkthrough. Due dates shown are the statutory defaults and can be extended in practice; applicability depends on your specific registration, turnover, and entity type. For general informational purposes only, not professional tax or legal advice.
