SEBI Directs Market Intermediaries to Update KYC and Tax Reporting Systems
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has directed registered market intermediaries to update their Know Your Customer (KYC) and tax-reporting systems to comply with revised income tax rules effective April 1, 2026. These updates align with international financial account reporting standards under the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) framework, including FATCA and CRS requirements. Intermediaries must revise customer onboarding, self-certification, and reporting software to avoid validation errors on the Income Tax portal.
