Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had earlier set a deadline of September 30, 2025, for directors to file their DIR-3-KYC and DIR-3-KYC-WEB forms without a filing fee. Stakeholders requested an extension to allow more time for compliance.
MCA has extended the deadline for filing e-form DIR-3-KYC and web-form DIR-3-KYC-WEB without payment of filing fee up to October 15, 2025. This extension applies to all directors who have not yet completed their KYC for the financial year 2024–25.
Non-compliance may lead to late fees, disqualification of directors, and restrictions on company filings until all directors have complied with KYC requirements.
