Sebi Proposes Digital KYC for Overseas Investors and Settlement Framework Reforms
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed allowing Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs), and foreign nationals residing in Financial Action Task Force (FATF)-compliant countries to complete digital KYC for securities market onboarding without physical presence in India. The proposal includes safeguards like video verification and location checks, and suggests making KYC records portable across intermediaries. Separately, Sebi has proposed simplifying its settlement framework with clearer rules and lower charges to reduce litigation and ease resolution of regulatory proceedings.
