I terms of guidelines issued by RBI and Prevention of Money Laundering Act-2002 (PMLA), Banks are required to follow the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms. Its main objective is to prevent criminal elements from using banking channels for money laundering activities and / or financing of terrorism related activities. Apart from checking money laundering, KYC is also an important tool for checking frauds that sometimes unscrupulous and criminal elements try to perpetrate on banks and unsuspecting members of public. In order to prevent such activities, it has become necessary to know about the true identity of customer, nature of customer’s business, source of funds etc. It assists the banks to know / understand the customers and their financial dealings better to monitor their transactions for identification and prevention of suspicious transactions.
The PMLA and the RBI guidelines require banks to establish the identity of the customer on the basis of documentary proof at the time entering into any business relationship. By submitting the required information, you actually not only help the bank to discharging its statutory / regulatory obligation but also to safe guard your own interest.
