The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued General Circular No. 04/2025 dated 29th September 2025, granting much-needed relief to directors across India.
Key Update
-
The last date for filing DIR-3 KYC (e-form) and DIR-3 KYC-WEB has been extended from 30th September 2025 to 15th October 2025.
-
No additional filing fee will be levied if the compliance is completed within this extended period.
Why This Matters
Every director holding a valid Director Identification Number (DIN) must complete annual KYC filing to keep their DIN in “approved” status. Failure to file within the due date usually attracts a penalty of ₹5,000 and leads to DIN deactivation.
This extension provides extra time for directors who may have faced last-minute challenges in completing their filings before the earlier deadline of 30th September 2025.
