To All Members,

SEBI/HO/MIRSD/FATF/P/CIR/2023/0144 dated August 11, 2023, BSE notice no. 20230811-35 dated August 11, 2023, 20230818-44 dated August 18, 2023, and 20230902-1 dated September 02, 2023 on “Simplification of KYC process and rationalisation of Risk Management Framework at KYC (Know Your Client) Registration Agencies (KRAs).” 

In continuation to above circulars “clients whose KYC are not found valid by KRAs for the PANs uploaded upto August 31, 2023, such UCCs (Unique Client Code) shall neither be Permitted to Trade on the Exchange, nor will they be able to square up their open positions, if any, w.e.f. November 18, 2023, until they comply with the aforesaid requirement.” Eventually, such open positions will naturally expire on the expiry date of the respective contract.

In view of the above, the Exchange shall flag the non-compliant PANs provided by the KRAs, as Not permitted to trade starting from November 18, 2023. It may be noted that post this date these PANs shall not be permitted to trade and also not be allowed to square off their open positions, if any. All PANs that become KRA compliant subsequently, will be permitted to trade on T+1, based on the information received from KRA by the Exchange on T Day.

The list of PANs, wherein Aadhaar has been provided as Officially Valid Document and which are KRA non-compliant for the PANs uploaded upto August 31, 2023 is provided at the below mentioned location:
