The Central KYC (cKYC) has been brought in to make the life easier for investors as well as for service providers.
Central KYC (cKYC) registry acts as a centralized KYC repository which stores information/documents pertaining to a customer who is undertaking a financial transaction or availing a financial service. The Central Registry of Securitization Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest (CERSAI) was incorporated under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 by the Government and it was given the responsibility of managing the cKYC registry.
So completing KYC process with any bank, Mutual Fund, or an insurance company will be enough and we won’t have to do this process again anywhere.
Central KYC Registry is a centralized repository of KYC records of customers in the financial sector with uniform KYC norms and inter-usability of the KYC records across the sector.
CERSAI will assign a 14 digit KYC id to every individual which can be used for KYC authentication for that individual across the financial industry.
