CKYC: The One KYC to Rule Them All — A Modern Investor’s Guide

Imagine a world where you don’t have to submit your PAN, Aadhaar, photo, and signature every time you open a financial account.

No repeating details.

No paperwork loops.

No “Please upload again… file unclear” chaos.

Welcome to the future of onboarding.

Welcome to CKYC — Central KYC, India’s unified identity system for every investor.

What Exactly Is CKYC?

Think of CKYC as your universal financial passport.

CKYC (CENTRAL KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER) is a centralized. Government-backed KYC repository managed by the Central Registry of Securitisation and Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India (CERSAI).

It allows individuals to complete their KYC only once, and the same verified data is used across:

. Stockbrokers
. Depository Participants
. Banks
. Mutual Fund Houses
. NBFCs
. Insurance Companies

Why is CKYC important for investors.

One upload.

One verification.

One 14-digit CKYC number.

A lifetime of seamless investing.

Smooth. Simple. Elegant.
