The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Companies (Appointment and Qualifications of Directors) Amendment Rules, 2025 on 31 December 2025, effective from 31 March 2026, with the objective of simplifying director-related compliance.
Key highlights:
- Director KYC filing is now required once in every three financial years, replacing the earlier annual KYC requirement.
- Existing KYC forms will be consolidated into a single Form DIR-3 KYC Web.
- The revised form will also be used for updation of mobile number, email address, residential address, and DIN reactivation.
- Any change in personal details must be updated within 30 days.
These amendments provide significant compliance relief to directors and further the Government’s ease of doing business initiative.
