ICSI Request for an extension of the deadline for submitting the DIR-3 KYC

The Institute of Company Secretaries of India made representation before Ministry of Corporate Affairs in regard of extending the due date or time limit for filing of DIR-3 KYC.

Extract of representation request as follows :

We’d like to draw your attention to Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2018, which states that every individual who holds a Director Identification Number (DIN) as of the 31st March of a financial year as defined by these rules must submit an e-form DIR-3-KYC to the Central Government on or before September 30th of that year.

In light of the current situation, the time limit set forth in the Rule may be extended for another 30 days.

Professionals are also having technical difficulties filling out and filing the e-form DIR-3 KYC, according to reports. The OTPs created and given to the mobile number and e-mail ID of the pertinent directors must be filled in while filling out the DIR-3 KYC. The generated OTP is not being sent to non-resident and overseas directors’ registered cell phone numbers. The generated OTP is not always sent to the correct email addresses. The e-form DIR-3 KYC cannot be submitted without the use of OTPs.

We are hopeful that the aforementioned submission will be accepted.
