KYC
Know Your Customer, the identity verification required to invest or open an account.
Indian regulators (SEBI, RBI, IRDAI) require KYC for all financial accounts. The standard documents are PAN, Aadhaar, and a recent photograph. Once your KYC is done with one SEBI-registered intermediary, the central KRA registries (CVL KRA, CAMS KRA) make it portable across mutual funds, brokers, and insurance companies. Re-KYC is required when address or other details change.
