The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed easing the geo-tagging requirement for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) clients during their re-KYC or KYC process.

Key Highlights:

  • Relaxation for NRIs:
    • NRIs will no longer be required to be physically present in India for KYC verification.
    • Digital onboarding and Video Client Identification Process (V-CIP) can be used instead.
  • Purpose:
    • Simplifies compliance for overseas investors.
    • Follows multiple stakeholder representations seeking streamlined KYC procedures.
  • Public Consultation:
    • SEBI has invited public comments on the draft circular before finalising the proposal.
Significance:
  • Reduces compliance burden for NRI investors.
  • Facilitates ease of investment from abroad while maintaining regulatory oversight.
