<\/span><\/h2>\nDIR-3 KYC is the form every Director Identification Number holder files with the MCA to confirm their personal details are current. Think of it as proof of life for your DIN; your mobile number, email, address, and identity documents are all verified again.<\/span><\/p>\nSkip it, and the system doesn’t send a warning letter. It simply marks your DIN as deactivated, and every form that needs your digital signature stops working from that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>What Has Changed in DIR-3 KYC from 2026?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nTwo things shifted at once here: how often you file, and when the deadline actually falls. Both matter if you’re updating a compliance calendar this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Annual KYC vs New 3-Year KYC Rule<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nUntil FY 2024-25, every DIN holder filed DIR-3 KYC every single year, no exceptions. From 31 March 2026, that annual obligation is gone. You now file once every three consecutive financial years, provided nothing in your personal details changes in between. Change your mobile number or move house, though, and a separate 30-day filing kicks in regardless of where you are in the cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>New DIR-3 KYC in India Due Date Framework<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nThe old due date, 30 September every year, is retired for directors under the new cycle. The new due date is 30 June, falling in the year right after your third consecutive financial year in the cycle. So if your cycle runs across three financial years ending March 2029, your filing window opens in April 2029 and closes on 30 June 2029.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n| \n Point<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Old Rule (before 31 March 2026)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n New Rule (from 31 March 2026)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n Frequency<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Every year<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Once every 3 financial years<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n Due date<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 30 September<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 30 June<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n Forms<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n DIR-3 KYC (e-Form) and DIR-3 KYC Web<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Single unified DIR-3 KYC Web<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n On-time fee<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nil<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nil<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/span>Who Needs to File DIR-3 KYC in 2026?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nNot every DIN holder falls into the same bucket this year, and your filing obligation depends on which group you’re in.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> | | | | |
