Ans. C-KYC stands for Central KYC, a process storing the KYC records of the customer centrally. The programme was announced by the Government of India in the 2012-13 Union Budget and went live in July 2016. With Central KYC (cKYC) program, once you finish the KYC process with an entity authorized to conduct KYC, it will be sufficient for you to invest in all the other financial products including Mutual Funds. Central KYC (cKYC) is being managed by The Central Registry of Securitization and Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest in India (CERSAI).

You need to give your one passport size photograph, pan card and valid address proof along with CKYC form for CKYC registration.

Ans. With a view to bring uniformity in the KYC requirements for the securities markets, SEBI has initiated usage of uniform KYC by all SEBI registered intermediaries. In this regard SEBI has issued the SEBI {KYC (Know Your Client) Registration Agency (KRA)}, Regulations, 2011. KRA provides for centralization of the KYC records in the securities market. The client who is desirous of opening an account/trade/deal with the SEBI registered Intermediary shall submit the KYC details through the KYC Registration form and supporting documents. The Intermediary shall perform the initial KYC and upload the details on the system of the KYC Registration Agency (KRA). This KYC information can be accessed by all the SEBI Registered Intermediaries while dealing with the same client. As a result, once the client has done KYC with a SEBI registered intermediary, he need not undergo the same process again with another intermediary.

You need to give your one passport size photograph, pan card and valid address proof along with kyc form for KYC registration in KRA.
