The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”), by notification dated 21.04.20261, has issued the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Amendment Rules, 2026 (“Fees Amendment Rules”) to revise the fee structure under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014. The Amendment Rules have introduced a revised fee framework in respect of filing of Form DIR 3 KYC Web under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 (“Appointment Rules”).
Pursuant to the Fees Amendment Rules, no fee shall be payable where Form DIR-3 KYC Web is filed within the timeline prescribed under Rule 12A(1) of the Appointment Rules. However, in cases where the form is filed after the prescribed timeline, or where such filing is undertaken for the purpose of reactivation of a deactivated director identification number, a fee of INR 5,000 has been prescribed. Further, where Form DIR-3 KYC Web is filed subsequent to the initial filing for the purpose of updating or modifying particulars in accordance with Rule 12A(2) of the Appointment Rules, a fee of INR 500 shall be payable for each such filing.
The Fees Amendment Rules have come into force on 22.04.2026.
