Pursuant to the amendment in the Rules notified on 31 December 2025 (to be effective from 31 March 2026), annual KYC filing requirement has been replaced with a simpler KYC intimation once in every three years, according to an official statement.
The revised simpler KYC Form can be used for various purposes viz (i) KYC compliance, (ii) updation of mobile number, (iii) updation of email address, (iv) updation of residential address and (v) re-activation of DIN. The verification (through digital signature) by DIN holder/director and certification (through digital signature) by the professional during KYC filing process would be required only if the KYC Form is submitted for updation of mobile number or email address or residential addresses.
This amendment is aimed at providing significant ease of compliance to directors in all companies. All directors who have completed their KYC till date are covered under the new provisions and accordingly their next KYC filing would be due by 30th June, 2028. The directors who have not submitted their KYC Form so far may continue to get their DINs re-activated as per existing provisions till 31 March 2026.
