How to comply with CKYC or Central KYC?s
Central KYC (cKYC) was introduced to simplify the lives of customers. If you complete the cKYC process with any bank, mutual fund or insurance company, you will be compatible with KYC and then you will not have to do so anywhere. The central KYC will store all customer data on a central server that all financial institutions have access to. Before the commencement of the Central KYC (CKYC) process, various financial institutions such as mutual funds, banks, etc. had different KYC procedures. Central KYC (cKYC) aims to bridge this gap on various platforms.
To follow CKYC, you have to fill the Central KYC (cKYC) form. The customer is required to produce a self-attested copy of the identity card (PAN card, etc.) along with the scanned photo and signature and proof of address along with the correctly filled address. The KYC form includes some new fields, such as the name of the applicant’s mother, who was not present in the KYC form.
A KYC account will be opened with adequately filled CKYC form. After opening a KYC account or completing cKYC, you will receive a 14-digit KYC Identification Number (KIN), which is unique to each person. Therefore, for new investment or to open a new account in any financial organization, you just have to display this number every time. This number will keep all your information in the center and will save you and the business or bank by eliminating the tedious process of KYC.
