What Happened?
Earlier, the due date was September 30, 2025. Now you get an extra month’s time to complete your KYC update and avoid paying the ₹5,000 late fee.
What is DIR-3 KYC?
Every person who has a Director Identification Number (DIN) must confirm their personal details once every year with the MCA.
This process is called DIR-3 KYC (Know Your Customer).
It ensures that MCA has the latest details of every director like:
Name
Mobile number
Email ID
Address
PAN / Aadhaar
If you don’t do this, your DIN gets deactivated, and you can’t file any company forms.
Who Needs to File It?
👉 Anyone who has a DIN as of March 31, 2025 must file their KYC for FY 2024-25.
👉 Even if you are not currently a director in any company, you still have to file if your DIN is active.
Two Ways to File
There are two versions of KYC filing:
DIR-3 KYC Form –
Use this if you are filing for the first time or if your mobile, email, or address has changed.DIR-3 KYC WEB (Online) –
Use this if you already filed last year and there’s no change in your details.
This takes just a few minutes — you’ll get OTPs on your registered mobile and email to verify.
New Due Date & Penalty
| Particulars | Date / Amount |
|---|---|
| Due date (without fee) | October 31, 2025 |
| Late fee after deadline | ₹5,000 per DIN |
| DIN status if not filed | Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC |
Why the Extension?
Many professionals and directors requested more time due to portal issues and workload.
The MCA responded by giving this one-time relaxation to avoid unnecessary penalties.
