What Happened?

Good news for all company directors!
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has extended the last date to file DIR-3 KYC and DIR-3 KYC WEB forms without any penalty till October 31, 2025.

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:

  1. DIR-3 KYC Form –
    Use this if you are filing for the first time or if your mobile, email, or address has changed.

  2. 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.

If you are a company director, complete your KYC now to keep your DIN active and your company filings smooth.
