These guidelines shall be called as Master Guidelines on Anti-Money laundering/Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) for all the insurers. Once implemented, customers buying insurance policies will also have to adhere to these new guidelines under which they will be required to share some additional information in the KYC and AML declarations.
