As per rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of
Directors) Rules 2014, “every individual who has been allotted a
Director Identification Number (DIN) as on 31st March of a financial
year as per these rules shall, submit e-form DIR-3-KYC to the Central
Government on or before 30th April of immediate next financial year.
Provided that every individual who has already been allotted a Director
Identification Number (DIN) as at 31st March, 2018, shall submit e-form
DIR-3 KYC on or before 5th October,2018.” However,
the DIR-3 KYC e-form
presently available on the portal does not cater for the following:
(i) Filing on annual basis, and
(ii) Filing in respect of DINs allotted post 31 March 2018. It presently
caters only to those individuals who were allotted DINs as on 31st
March 2018 and whose DINs have been marked as ‘Deactivated due to
non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.
Stakeholders may please note that DIN holders are required to file the
DIR-3 KYC form every year, so that they are aware of and confirm the
data & information as available in the MCA21 system.
With the objective of making the form more user friendly, the form is
presently being modified to enable pre-filling of data & information
so that annual filings can be done by DIN holders in a simple and user
friendly manner..
The revised form, which will be shortly deployed, can be filed without
any fee within a period of 30 days from the date of deployment.
Accordingly, DIN holders who had filed DIR-3 KYC form earlier and
complied with the said provisions may kindly await the deployment of the
modified form for fulfilling their compliance requirements.
