Overview

What is DIR-6?

DIR-6 is the prescribed MCA form/webform for intimating changes in the particulars of a Director or Designated Partner. It is applicable where an individual already has an approved DIN or DPIN and any relevant particular previously submitted to MCA has changed. The statutory basis is Rule 12(1) of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014.

Name, Address & Nationality

Changes such as legal name, residential address or nationality furnished earlier in DIR-3 can be intimated.

Supporting Documentary Proof

Every changed particular must be supported by the appropriate documentary evidence MCA requires.

30-Day Intimation Window

The change must be intimated to the Central Government within 30 days from the date of change.

DIR-6 vs DIR-3 vs DIR-12 vs DIR-3 KYC

Form	Purpose	Trigger
DIR-3	Application for allotment of DIN	New DIN required
DIR-6	Intimation of change in particulars	Existing DIN/DPIN details changed
DIR-3 KYC	KYC / verification of DIN holders	Annual KYC requirement
DIR-12	Appointment, cessation, designation change	Director appointed / resigned / role changed

DIR-6 does not allot a new DIN, does not appoint a director, does not record resignation, and does not replace DIR-3 KYC — each of these has its own applicable form.
