The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has updated the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Amendment Rules, 2025, significantly easing the compliance burden for directors. Effective from March 31, 2026, directors holding a Director Identification Number (DIN) will only need to file the DIR-3-KYC Web form once every three financial years, instead of annually. However, changes to personal details like mobile number, email, or address must still be reported within 30 days via the DIR-3-KYC Web form, which is now the sole permitted method for KYC compliance and DIN updates.
