Common KYC for investment products across categories 
A Staff Writer
 

In a few months, investors will be able to use their, know-your-customer (KYC) registration for investing in all instruments, according to a news report in Times of India

Mumbai: Financial sector regulators are working towards a common KYC norm for investors across financial instruments – mutual funds, stocks, bonds, bank deposits, insurance and pension plans. While SEBI has already decided to move to a common standard for all products regulated by it, there has been discussion with other regulators on the subject.

In due course, KYC done by one of the financial sector players may become the enabling tool for all products. The issue was discussed at a meeting of sub-committee of the Financial Stability & Development Council.

A transition to a common KYC will make the lives of investors and financial advisors easier as it would reduce the documentation substantially. The investors and advisors would be able to do away with the hassle of submitting various documents.

At present, it is only in case of mutual funds that one KYC clearance entitles investors to put money in multiple schemes.
