If you are a company director in India \u2014 or a foreign national holding a directorship in an Indian company \u2014 the DIR-3 KYC compliance requirement<\/strong> has just become more manageable, but far more consequential if missed. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has officially revised the KYC cycle: directors now need to file DIR-3 KYC once every three years<\/strong> instead of annually, marking a significant shift in India’s corporate compliance landscape in 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change affects thousands of directors across Rajasthan, Delhi, Mumbai, and every state in India \u2014 as well as NRIs and foreign nationals holding Indian directorships. Whether you are a startup founder in Jaipur, a promoter of a large enterprise, or an international investor with board presence in India, missing this filing can result in Director Identification Number (DIN) deactivation<\/strong> and heavy penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Khanna & Associates<\/a>, one of the most trusted law firms in Jaipur and among the top law firms in India, our corporate compliance team handles DIR-3 KYC filings with precision and zero delays. This guide explains everything you need to know \u2014 the law, the deadlines, the penalties, and how to stay fully compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
