Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

📢 Important MCA Update for Directors! The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced significant changes to the DIR-3 KYC compliance framework with the objective of simplifying regulatory requirements and enhancing ease of compliance for Directors. 🔹 Key Highlights of the Amendment • Directors holding a DIN as on 31st March of a financial year shall now be required to file Form DIR-3 KYC Web once every third consecutive financial year, on or before 30th June. • Any change in a Director’s mobile number, email ID, or residential address must be updated within 30 days through DIR-3 KYC Web along with the prescribed fee under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014. • Form DIR-3-KYC and DIR-3- KYC-Web has been substituted with Form DIR-3 KYC Web. •These amendments shall come into force from 31st March 2026, vide Notification No. G.S.R. 943(E) dated 31st December, 2025. These measures aim to strengthen corporate governance while reducing repetitive compliance burden for directors. 🔹 Illustrative Scenarios Illustration 1: Where a DIN is allotted during the FY 2025-26, Form DIR-3 KYC Web shall be filed once every three consecutive financial years. Accordingly, the first filing shall be due from April 2029 to June 2029, and thereafter every third financial year. Illustration 2: Where a Director already filed DIR-3 KYC Eform /DIR-3 KYC Web for the FY 2025-26 i.e. where DIN allotment date is on or before 31 March 2025, no filing shall be required for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, provided there is no change in KYC particulars. Accordingly, first filing in such case shall be due from April 2028 to June 2028. Illustration 3: Where a DIN is allotted on 1 January 2026 [FY 2025-26] and the Director updates the mobile number, email ID, or residential address in FY 2027-28 by filing DIR-3 KYC Web, the three year compliance cycle shall be reckoned from the FY 2025-26 in which the DIN is allotted. Accordingly, the next DIR-3 KYC Web for KYC compliance shall be due from April 2029 to June 2029. Any updation made in FY 2027-28 will not impact the cycle for KYC compliance.

@mihirjt @FCSJigarShah From the user side, probably an IT expert can verify it.

@cs_pratik @FCSJigarShah Is there any way to verify that

Dear All, I’ve created a free and simple PDF Compression tool that you can use whenever you need to reduce the size of a PDF file: learn.cspratik.com/docs/tools/pdf… Works directly in browser and files are not uploaded or stored on any server, which keeps everything private and secure.

@mihirjt @FCSJigarShah It still requires internet because utility is based on javascript and it fetches javascript libraries to process files. But it never comes to our server.

@cs_pratik @FCSJigarShah So will it work without internet?

@mihirjt @FCSJigarShah Files are not uploaded on the server. It stays in your browser.

📢 Clarification regarding Resubmission under SPICe+ Stakeholders are informed that SPICe+ consists of two stages—Part A (Name Reservation) and Part B (Incorporation)—which may be filed jointly or separately. 🔹 If Part A & Part B are filed together and resubmission is marked only for Part A, Part B and its linked forms (INC-9, e-MOA, e-AOA, AGILE PRO S) get delinked. Resubmission of pre-filled Part B shall regenerate the applicable linked forms, which needs to be submitted again. Certain fields (authorised capital, state of registered office and ROC Code) remain non-editable as stamp duty and form fees are already paid. 🔹 If Part B is filed separately and resubmission is required for Part B, applicable linked forms will regenerate upon resubmission. 👉 If resubmission remarks relate only to a linked form(s), only that specific form needs to be edited and resubmitted. Stakeholders are advised to note the above for smooth incorporation. #MCA #MCAUpdate #SPICePlus

@FCSJigarShah @JMJALLP Congratulations

11 years of @JMJALLP and a day started with a beautiful wish from the team. A day when we formally incorporated LLP and decided to convert our sole proprietorship business into LLP in 2014. What began as a shift in legal form soon became a shift in mindset, from working individually to building a team, from executing tasks to creating systems, and from running a practice to nurturing an institution. Grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey and helping us grow year after year, I cannot imagine this without the stronger pillars of #JMJA @mansidamania and @Anupriyasays. 11 years down, forever to grow :) And I feel it is no coincidence that this day is celebrated as International #MensDay (who are in minority at JMJA) #CSTwitter

11 pages of Anchor list for Lenskart. 22 mutual fund AMCs have applied. Let that sink in. Half of India’s fund industry queued up for an IPO at obscene valuations. A company at 12x revenue and yet, every one of these so-called “valuation-conscious” fund managers jumped in without hesitation. Tomorrow, they’ll sit on panels lecturing retail investors about discipline, margin of safety, and long-term investing. But when the hype train rolls in, principles vanish faster than logic. Some might defend it saying, “It’s just a 0.01% allocation.” Sorry, that’s not an argument, that’s an excuse. If you can’t stand by your own words when it matters, why even invest Re 1? Valuation frameworks, integrity, and fiduciary responsibility all thrown into the dustbin for a few lines in an anchor book.
