Do You Need to Update Your KYC/Modify KYC?

Posted On Friday, Apr 26, 2024

New KYC Regulation Effective April 1st, 2024

With the implementation of new KYC regulations, your KYC Status may no longer be valid for making investments. KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) shall verify the following attributes of KYC:

  • PAN
    (Including PAN Aadhaar linkage as referred to in rule 114 AAA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962)


  • Name


  • Address


  • Client’s Mobile No.
    & Email ID

The records of those clients in respect of which all the above attributes are verified by KRAs with official database (such as Income Tax database on PAN, Aadhaar XML/DigiLocker/M-Aadhaar) shall be considered as valid records.

To avoid any delays or interruptions while doing a transaction, it is worthwhile to check your KYC Status and update if required with Valid Documents.
