   KYC (Know Your Customer) is a framework for banks
    which enables them to know / understand the
    customers and their financial dealings to be able to
    serve them better.

   Banking operations are susceptible to the risks of
    money laundering and terrorist financing.

Therefore, banks are advised to follow certain customer
  identification procedure for opening of accounts and
  monitoring transactions of a suspicious nature for the
  purpose of reporting it to appropriate authority
   Reserve Bank of India has advised banks to make the
    Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures mandatory
    while opening and operating the accounts and has
    issued the KYC guidelines under Section 35 (A) of the
    Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

   Any contravention of the same will attract penalties
    under the relevant provisions of the Act. Thus, the Bank
    has to be fully compliant with the provisions of the KYC
    procedures.
 Customer?
One who maintains an account, establishes business relationship, on
  who’s behalf account is maintained, beneficiary of accounts
  maintained by intermediaries, and one who carries potential risk
  through one off transaction

 Your? Who should know?
Branch manager, audit officer, monitoring officials, PO.

 Know? What you should know?
True identity and beneficial ownership of the accounts
permanent address, registered & administrative address, sources of
  funds, nature of customers’ business etc.
   Opening a new account.
   In respect of accounts where documents as per current KYC
    standards have not been submitted while opening the initial
    account.
   Opening a Locker Facility where these documents are not
    available with the Bank for all the Locker facility holders.
   When the Bank feels it necessary to obtain additional
    information from existing customers based on conduct of
    account.
   When there are changes to signatories, mandate holders,
    beneficial owners etc.
   For non-account holders approaching the Bank for high
    value one-off transactions like Drafts, Remittances etc.
    Sound KYC procedures have particular relevance to the
     safety and soundness of banks, in that:

1.   They help to protect banks’ reputation and the integrity of
     banking systems by reducing the likelihood of banks
     becoming a vehicle for or a victim of financial crime and
     suffering consequential reputational damage;

2.   They provide an essential part of sound risk
     management system (basis for identifying, limiting and
     controlling risk exposures in assets & liabilities
   To prevent banks from being used, intentionally or
    unintentionally, by criminal elements for money
    laundering activities . KYC procedures also enable banks
    to know/understand their customers and their financial
    dealings better which in turn help them manage their
    risks prudently.

4 key elements of KYC policies
 1) Customer Acceptance Policy;
 2) Customer Identification Procedures;
 3) Monitoring of Transactions; and
 4) Risk management
The Customer Acceptance Policy must ensure that explicit
guidelines are in place on the following aspects of customer
relationship in the bank.

No  account is opened in anonymous
Parameters of risk perception are clearly defined.
Documentation requirements and other information to be
collected.
Circumstances, in which a customer is permitted to act on behalf
of another person/entity, should be clearly spelt out
Necessary checks before opening a new account .
Not to open an account or close an existing account where the
bank is unable to apply appropriate customer due diligence
   The policy approved by the Board of banks should clearly
    spell out the Customer Identification Procedure to be
    carried out at different stages i.e. while establishing a
    banking relationship. i.e. while establishing a banking
    relationship; carrying out a financial transaction or when
    the bank has a doubt about the authenticity/veracity or
    the adequacy of the previously obtained customer
    identification data.

   Identifying the customer and verifying his/ her identity by
    using reliable, independent source documents, data or
    information.
   Banks can effectively control and reduce their risk only if
    they have an understanding of the normal and
    reasonable activity of the customer –to identify
    transactions that fall outside the regular pattern of
    activity.
     However, the extent of monitoring will depend on the
    risk sensitivity of the account

   The bank may prescribe threshold limits for a particular
    category of accounts and pay particular attention to the
    transactions which exceed these limits.
   The Board of Directors of the bank should ensure that an
    effective KYC programme is put in place by establishing
    appropriate procedures and ensuring their effective
    implementation.

    Responsibility should be explicitly allocated within the bank
    for ensuring that the bank’s policies and procedures are
    implemented effectively.

    Apart from the key elements the other things that a bank
    should look into customer education, introduction of new
    technologies, applicability to branches outside India and
    appointment of principal officer.
   Why KYC norms required?
   Objectives of KYC guidelines
   Why do the banks ask for documentary proof for identity
    and address for opening account?
   What is expected from customers?
   Why other information?
   Is this information kept confidential?
   What are the valid documents for ID proof and address
    proof?
   For opening accounts in legal capacity like partnership,
    companies, trust etc. does one still need to submit
    information mentioned above?
   How can a person having no valid documents open
    account?
   Case : Aug 2012

Two public sector banks and one private bank
 were held accountable by the Reserve Bank of
 India (RBI), Bangalore, for failure to exercise
 due diligence in opening bank accounts that
 enabled online fraudsters to hack into the
 accounts of genuine customers and walk away
 with Rs 6.60 lakh, exposing the lax
 implementation of know your customer (KYC)
 norms
   The cases were taken up by the RBI ombudsman after the
    customers lodged complaints with him; the money trail was
    traced to Mumbai and Coimbatore; the fraudsters had
    opened accounts with fake employment letters, residence
    documents and given fictituous telephone numbers.

   The banks were found guilty and went in for appeal to the
    appellate authority (Deputy Governor, RBI) who upheld two
    of our verdicts

   In another case, a public sector bank was asked to suspend
    its mobile banking services after its security systems were
    found to be deficient.
  In all, the ombudsman received 3,486 complaints during
   the year compared to 3,470 last year.
-failure to implement commitments made-1,209 .
-followed by those pertaining to credit and debit cards - 732
-other categories included levy of service charges without
   prior permission, loans and advances and recovery agent
   harassment.
-banks had wrongly rejected applications for education
   loans, which were then rectified by the respective banks.

RBI ensures that the grievances are resolved and benefits
 are restored to the customers, with occasional cases of
 compensation to them.
