Relaxation on geo-tagging requirement in India for NRIs while undertaking re-KYC
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has modified its Master Circular on KYC to ease the re-KYC process for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). The regulator relaxes the requirement that NRI clients must be physically located in India to undergo digital due diligence for re-KYC. Intermediaries must still ensure that captured GPS locations match the client's country of address and prevent connections from spoofed IP addresses.
