KYC Update: Your Questions Answered
Posted On Tuesday, Apr 30, 2024
New KYC Regulation Effective April 1st, 2024
With the implementation of new KYC regulations, your client’s 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 advise your clients to check their KYC Status and update if required with Valid Documents.
