Sebi Allows IFSCA-Regulated Entities to Access KYC Records via Registered KRAs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has permitted entities regulated by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) to access KYC records maintained by registered KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs). This move aims to facilitate seamless sharing of client information and interoperability between Sebi-registered KRAs and IFSCA-regulated entities for financial services. Entities accessing these records must comply with existing KRA regulations, Sebi's KYC norms, and data-security guidelines, especially for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). The provisions take immediate effect.
