The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has recently issued a clarification on KYC of the Directors and DPT-3 and updated the due dates of the Forms.

The Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Amendment Rules, 2019

Every Company except Government Company shall have to file Form DPT 3 providing particulars of transaction that has not been considered as deposit. Thus, all companies having any kind of loan/deposits (secured/unsecured /ECB/ Advances receipt from customer/money pending allotment, etc.) outstanding till 31st March, 2019 (previously it was 22nd January,2019) needs to file Form DPT-3.

Due Date:-

Old:- On or before 22^nd April

New:- As per General Circular No.: 05/2019, Due date for filing DPT-3 is 30 days from the date of deployment of the said form on MCA 21 Portal

The Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014

Every individual who has been allotted a Director Identification Number (DIN) as on 31st March of a financial year as per these rules shall, submit e-form DIR-3-KYC to the Central Government on or before 30th April of immediate next financial year.

However, the DIR-3 KYC e-form presently available on the portal does not cater for the following:

(i) Filing on annual basis, and

 (ii) Filing in respect of DINs allotted post 31 March 2018. It presently caters only to those individuals who were allotted DINs as on 31st March 2018 and whose DINs have been marked as ‘Deactivated due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC’.

Due Date:-

Old:- On or before 30^th April

New:- Due date for filing DIR-3 KYC is 30 days from the date of deployment of the said form on MCA 21 Portal
