What Is DIN Reactivation?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
DIN reactivation restores a Director Identification Number that was deactivated for not filing the annual DIR-3 KYC — done by filing the pending KYC and paying the ₹5,000 late fee, after which the DIN returns to Active status.
Under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, every individual holding a DIN as on 31 March must file DIR-3 KYC by 30 September. On default, the MCA deactivates the DIN; it can be reactivated by filing the pending DIR-3 KYC with a fee of ₹5,000 as prescribed in the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014.
Administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the MCA21 V3 portal at mca.gov.in, where the DIR-3 KYC eForm and web service are filed.
Once reactivated, the DIN stays Active permanently, provided DIR-3 KYC is filed on time every year by 30 September. Miss a year again and the DIN is deactivated once more.

Talk to an Expert →Why Reactivate a Deactivated DIN?
A deactivated DIN blocks you from acting or signing as a director anywhere. Here is why reactivating it promptly matters.
-
01
Act Legally as a Director
You cannot sign, file or be appointed as a director on any company while your DIN is deactivated. Reactivation restores your legal capacity to act.
-
02
Unblock MCA Filings
ROC forms that require your DIN — annual returns, appointments, resignations — are rejected until the DIN is Active. Reactivation unblocks all of them.
-
03
Take Up New Directorships
A company cannot appoint you as a director with an inactive DIN. Reactivating it lets you accept new board positions without delay.
-
04
Stop the Compliance Clock
A deactivated DIN keeps your existing directorships in default. Reactivating restores the affected companies to regular compliance.
-
05
Avoid Further Cost
The ₹5,000 late fee is fixed, but a lingering deactivation can compound into wider company-level defaults and penalties. Clearing it early contains the cost.
-
06
Protect Business Continuity
Banks, investors and partners check director status. An Active DIN keeps your company’s board credible and its filings uninterrupted.

What You’ll Receive
What Documents Are Required for DIN Reactivation?
Reactivation is done by filing the pending DIR-3 KYC, so the documents are the KYC documents plus the late fee. Keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready — everything is collected securely online.
Identity & PAN
Of the director / DIN holder- PAN card of the director (Indian nationals)
- Passport (mandatory for foreign nationals / NRIs)
- Aadhaar card linked to the mobile number
- Passport-size photograph
Contact & Address
For OTP & KYC record- Personal mobile number (for OTP verification)
- Personal email address (for OTP verification)
- Current residential address proof (bank statement / utility bill / voter ID)
- Foreign address proof for NRIs, where applicable
Signing & Fee
To file & reactivate- Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the director
- DSC-registered on the MCA portal
- ₹5,000 late fee for reactivation
- Existing DIN number
DSC required for the eForm
The DIR-3 KYC eForm must be digitally signed with the director’s Class-3 DSC and certified by a practising professional. The web-based KYC needs only OTP if no details have changed.
Web KYC vs eForm
Use the web-based DIR-3 KYC if none of your details have changed since the last KYC. Use the DIR-3 KYC eForm if your mobile, email, address or any particular has changed.
₹5,000 late fee is fixed
For a deactivated DIN, the reactivation fee is a fixed ₹5,000 — it applies regardless of how many days late the KYC is. There is no filing fee if KYC is done on time within the window.
Foreign nationals
For NRIs and foreign nationals a passport is mandatory, and foreign documents may need apostille / notarisation. We confirm the exact requirement for your case.

We’ll identify what your case needs →How to Reactivate a Deactivated DIN (Step by Step)
The entire reactivation happens online through the MCA21 V3 portal by filing the pending DIR-3 KYC.
Check DIN status
Verify on the MCA portal that the DIN is “Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC” — and rule out a disqualification-based deactivation.
Pick the right KYC route
Choose web-based DIR-3 KYC (no change in details) or the DIR-3 KYC eForm (any detail changed). We confirm the correct route.
Prepare the pending KYC
Complete the KYC with PAN, Aadhaar/passport, current mobile, email and address. The eForm is certified by a practising professional.
Verify via OTP / DSC
Complete mobile and email OTP verification; for the eForm, affix the director’s DSC and the professional’s certification.
Pay the ₹5,000 late fee
Generate the challan and pay the prescribed ₹5,000 reactivation fee on the MCA portal.
DIN set to Active
On successful filing, the MCA updates the DIN back to Active — usually the same or next working day. We confirm and share the acknowledgement.
How Long Does DIN Reactivation Take?
| Stage | Expected Time |
|---|---|
| DIN status check + document collection | Same day |
| DIR-3 KYC preparation, certification & late-fee payment | 1–2 working days |
| MCA processing — DIN set to Active | Same / next working day |
Web-based DIR-3 KYC is typically processed the same day; the eForm route may take a little longer for certification. Actual MCA processing time can vary with portal load and any query on the filing.
