Accessibility and Inclusiveness of Digital KYC to Persons with Disabilities
The Securities and Exchange Board of India issued this circular to enforce the Supreme Court's directive ensuring equal access to financial services for persons with disabilities. SEBI has revised its FAQ on account opening for persons with disabilities and mandates that all registered intermediaries extend digital accessibility services in accordance with these guidelines. This requirement is issued under Section 11(1) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, to make the digital KYC process inclusive for individuals with visual impairments and other disabilities.
