KYC Form

KYC means Know Your Customer. Investors who want to invest in the Market securities need to complete the KYC process. They need to fill the KYC form and submit it to the SEBI registered intermediary such as Asset Management Companies, banks, etc. along with the required KYC documents in order to be KYC compliant.

The KYC documents include 2 types of documents which are, proof of identity and proof of address. There are KYC registration agencies (KRA) such as CAMSKRA, CVLKRA which maintain the records filled in the KYC form by the investor centrally. If you are KYC compliant then you don't need to fill KYC form for different intermediaries separately. All your details will be stored and accessed centrally with the help of KRA and the intermediary you are interacting with can access them electronically. You can also check your KYC Status on the KRA websites.
