Central KYC (CKYC) Registration

The Central KYC Registry (CKYCR), operated by CERSAI, holds a single, shared KYC record for each customer across the financial system. Financial reporting entities — including NBFCs, fund houses, and others — must register with the registry and upload and update their customers' KYC records.

The firm handles the entity's registration with the CKYC Registry and helps set up the upload and update process.

Central KYC registration covers, including:

• Registering the reporting entity with the CKYC Registry (CERSAI)
• Setting up the access and user credentials
• The process to upload new customer KYC records
• Updating and downloading existing CKYC records
• Alignment with the entity's KYC/AML framework

• Who must register with the CKYC Registry?

  Financial reporting entities such as NBFCs and fund houses must register and upload customer KYC records. We confirm whether it applies to you and register the entity.

• How does CKYC help?

  It holds one shared KYC record per customer, so a customer KYC'd once can be onboarded by other institutions using the CKYC number, reducing duplication.

• How long does it take?

  Entity registration is a defined process, typically completed in a few weeks; uploads are then ongoing.
