What Is India KYC?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory customer identification process required by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) for all investors in Indian securities markets. It verifies the true identity and beneficial ownership of accounts and the source of funds, as required under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002 (PMLA).
KYC is required for:
- Investing in Indian stocks, bonds, or mutual funds
- Opening a demat account or trading account in India
- Banking and financial services in India
- PAN card-related processes for NRIs
KYC registration itself is free of charge.
