Once a year, every DIN holder must confirm their particulars to the MCA. It takes minutes — and skipping it can freeze your corporate life.

The requirement

Every person holding a DIN as of the cut-off files the annual KYC by the notified deadline — a full form the first time or when details change, and a simple web verification in routine years.

What deactivation feels like

  • Your DIN is marked deactivated on the register — visible to anyone who checks
  • Company filings requiring your signature start failing at the worst moments
  • Reactivation requires the filing plus the prescribed fee

Who forgets

Directors who resigned from active companies but kept their DIN; NRI directors outside the email loop; founders whose consultants changed. The DIN obligation is personal — it follows you, not the company.

The two-minute system

A recurring calendar entry before the deadline, and current email/phone on MCA records so OTPs actually arrive.

We track KYC for every client director as standard — ROC compliance service · never miss it again.
