MCA Extends Deadline for DIR-3 KYC Filings
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has announced an extension for the filing deadline of the annual KYC forms for directors, specifically DIR-3 KYC and the related web-form DIR-3 KYC-WEB.
Key Details of the Extension
- Forms Covered: DIR-3 KYC (for directors who need to update personal details) and DIR-3 KYC-WEB (the simplified web-based verification for directors whose details remain unchanged).
- Extended Deadline: The last date for filing these forms has been extended to October 15, 2025.
- Fee Exemption: Crucially, the extension allows the filing to be completed without payment of the prescribed fee until the new deadline.
Impact on Directors and Professionals
- Compliance Relief: This move provides significant relief to directors and company secretaries, offering additional time to comply with the mandatory annual KYC requirement without incurring late fees.
- Annual Mandate: All directors who have been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) are legally required to file one of these two forms annually to keep their DIN active.
