📢 DIR-3 KYC & DIR-6: The Ultimate MCA Guide for Directors

Yet forgetting to file on time carries real risk: beyond a fine, you could face DIN deactivation, preventing any further MCA filings. Fortunately, this guide breaks down each requirement, and moreover, explains how C.P. Agrawal & Associates takes the headache out of compliance.


✍ Why These Forms Matter

  • DIR-3 KYC verifies your director details for the first time.

  • DIR-3 KYC Web simplifies annual revalidation when nothing has changed.

  • DIR-6 captures updates whenever personal data like your name or address is altered.

Together, these filings act much like a routine health check-up: they keep your Director Identification Number (DIN) active, accurate, and ready for business.


📝 DIR-6: Update Personal Details Without Delay

Whenever your personal information changes, you’re required to file DIR-6 within 30 days. Otherwise, your DIN risks temporary invalidation until the update clears.

✅ When to File DIR-6

  • After a name change

  • Upon relocation to a new address

  • While updating identity proofs such as PAN, Aadhaar, or Passport

📄 What You’ll Need

  1. Documentary proof of each change

  2. A valid DSC (Digital Signature Certificate)

  3. Certification by a practicing CA/CS/CMA

Consequently, acting promptly not only preserves your DIN but also prevents any compliance roadblocks.


🧾 DIR-3 KYC: Annual KYC Filing Made Simple

Introduced by the MCA, DIR-3 KYC ensures that every director’s data remains current. In fact, anyone whose DIN was approved on or before 31st March of the financial year must complete this form.

👤 Who Must File

  • Directors who have updated their mobile number or email

📑 Information Required

  • Verified Mobile Number & Email (with OTP authentication)

  • The form must be digitally signed by the director

  • It also requires professional attestation by a CA/CS/CMA

Therefore, completing this process on time safeguards your ability to sign critical documents without interruption.
