Consequences of Non – Filing or Late Filing
“If a Director, fails to file eform DIR-3 KYC before the expiry of the due date, then MCA21 system will mark his/her DIN as ‘De-activated’ with reason as ‘Non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’. However, the de-activated DIN shall be re-activated only after eform DIR-3 KYC is filed along with payment of Rs. 5000. In order to avoid any delay which would result in payment of Rs. 5000, the Directors are advised to file the same before the due date”. At present still MCA has not released any update on DIR – 3 KYC for financial year 2019-20.
