NSE KRA

NSE KRA is one of the five KYC registration agencies (KRA) in India. NSEKRA offers KYC and KYC related services for the Mutual Fund Houses, stockbrokers and other agencies that are registered with SEBI.

KYC - Know Your Customer – is a one-time process to verify the identity of an investor and the process is mandatory for all the financial institutions such as banks, Mutual Fund houses etc. Earlier, each of these financial institutions had a separate KYC verification process. Thus to bring uniformity in the registration process, SEBI introduced the KYC registration agency (KRA). As said earlier NSE KRA along with the other four KRA provide KYC related services to clients. You can check the KYC Status of your application, download the KYC Form and complete the KYC KRA verification with NSE KRA. CVLKRA, CAMSKRA, NSDL KRA, and Karvy KRA are the other four KRAs.
