DIN Reactivation Services

Reactivate a Deactivated Director Identification Number Quickly

A Director Identification Number is most commonly deactivated when the holder fails to complete the annual DIR-3 KYC by the due date. A deactivated DIN prevents the person from acting as a director and blocks company filings that require their signature. Reactivation is achieved by completing the pending eKYC and paying the prescribed late fee, after which the DIN is restored to active status.

Our DIN reactivation services review the reason for deactivation, complete the overdue filing, and restore the DIN so the director and the company can resume normal filings. This service is closely tied to our DIN eKYC services and DIN related forms, and supports director appointment and other filings that depend on an active DIN.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a DIN get deactivated?

The most common reason a DIN is deactivated is failure to complete the annual DIR-3 KYC by the due date, which results in a status indicating non-filing of KYC. A deactivated DIN cannot be used until it is reactivated by completing the pending eKYC.

How is a DIN reactivated?

A DIN deactivated for non-filing of KYC is reactivated by completing the overdue DIR-3 KYC and paying the prescribed late fee. Once the pending eKYC is filed and the fee is paid, the DIN is restored to active status and can be used again.

What is the late fee for reactivating a DIN?

Reactivating a DIN deactivated for non-filing of KYC generally attracts a late fee of five thousand rupees for completing the overdue DIR-3 KYC. This fee applies when the eKYC is filed after the deadline in order to restore the DIN.

How long does DIN reactivation take?

Once the overdue DIR-3 KYC is filed with the applicable late fee, the DIN status is typically updated to active on processing. Completing the filing correctly and paying the fee is the key step, after which the DIN is restored for use in directorships and filings.

Can company forms be filed while a DIN is deactivated?

Filings that require the signature or details of a director whose DIN is deactivated are generally held up until the DIN is reactivated. Restoring the DIN is therefore important not only for the individual but also to allow the company’s pending filings to proceed.
