CKYCR (Central KYC Registry) is a centralized repository of KYC records of customers in the financial sector. CKYCR will replace the existing multiple KYC submission process while opening savings bank accounts, buying life insurance or investing in mutual fund products into one time centralized process. The Government of India has authorized the Central Registry of Securitization and Asset Reconstruction and Security interest of India (CERSAI) to manage this Central KYC Registry process. From 1st August, 2016 this new process will be applicable to all individuals. Salient Features of CKYCR - It Promotes inter-usability of the KYC records across the sector - It will reduce burden of getting KYC documents and verification of the same every time - It is a single form to create or modify CKYC - It includes the FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) declaration also. Hence, it avoids you to declare the same at the different level of your investments. -  T
