KYC registration agencies


KYC is mandatory for all investors (individuals and non-individuals) in a service providing scheme, irrespective of the amount invested. In case of joint applications for a fund, all the joint holders need to be KYC compliant. For investments by a minor, the Guardian should be KYC compliant. The minor, upon attaining majority, should immediately apply for KYC compliance in his/ her own capacity and intimate the concerned option trading tips providers. Investors who wish to invest through a Power of Attorney (PoA) holder have to ensure that both the investor and the PoA holder should be KYC compliant.
SEBI has issued the KYC Registration Agency Regulations, 2011 in exercise of the powers conferred under the SEBI Act.
Under the said Regulations, a KYC Registration Agency (KRA) is a company formed and registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and which has been granted a certificate of registration under the Regulations.
The KRA must obtain the KYC documents of the client from the intermediaries. The KRA maintains the KYC records of an investor centrally, on behalf of the capital market intermediaries and commodity tips provider registered with SEBI. It is also responsible for retaining the original KYC documents of investors in both physical and electronic form for the prescribed period.
KRA accepts the KYC forms and documents pertaining to proof of identity and proof of address received from intermediaries. It scans, digitalizes the documents and thereafter issues acknowledgements/ conveys rejections to the investor.
