Wait 5 sec.

Securities and Exchange Board of India has relaxed Know Your Client requirements for overseas investors. This change enables non-resident Indians, Overseas Citizens of India, and foreign nationals to onboard digitally. Individuals from FATF-compliant countries can now submit KYC details remotely without being in India. Intermediaries are allowed to rely on existing KYC records and conduct video verifications when necessary.
