DIR-3 KYC Date Extended

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has received representations from stakeholders

expressing certain difficulties in filing e-form DIR-3 KYC in accordance with Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014. Requests have also been made for extension of period for filing such form.

• The matter has been examined and it is hereby inf ormed that it is being proposed that every person who has already filed DIR-3 KYC will only be required to complete his/her KYC th rough a simple web-based verification service, with pre-filled data based on the records in the registry, for ease of verificatio n by th e person concerned. However, in case a person wishes to update his mobile no. or e-mail address, h e would be required to file e-form DlR-3 KYC, as this facility of updation is not being proposed in the web-based service. In case of upd ation in any other personal detail, e-form DIR-6 may be filed for updation of the same before completion of KYC through the web-based service.

• Th e amendment in the relevant rules including th e amendment related to extension of time (allowing for adequate time) for completion of KYC through e-form DIR-3 KYC or the web-based service, as the case may be, is being notified shortly. Stakeholders are advised to take note of the same and file according to the revised notification .

This issues with approval of the competent authority.
