customer onboarding<\/a>, which includes <\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Face-to-face onboarding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where customers can open accounts using Aadhaar biometric-based e-KYC. While doing so, if the current address differs from the Aadhaar address then a simple self-declaration is sufficient. Besides this, Digital KYC is also permitted in in-person setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Non-face-to-face onboarding (NFTF)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this scenario, the customers can be onboarded remotely using Aadhaar OTP-based e-KYC, subject to specific conditions. Besides this, banks can also accept DigiLocker documents, e-documents, and certified paper copies for verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But they have made it compulsory for the accounts to be opened through NFTF and must complete full Customer Due Diligence (CDD) within one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Video-based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this, the V-CIP enables live, secure, consent-based video interaction with a bank official for identity verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is almost as good as face-to-face onboarding and is valid for both account opening and KYC updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional Measures To Streamline The Process <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThey have introduced Central KYC Registry (CKYCR) integration by which the banks must use the CKYCR to fetch a customer\u2019s existing KYC record with consent, avoiding the need for repeated document submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to this, the Business Correspondents are now authorised to assist in onboarding and KYC updates, increasing reach in rural and remote areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides this, the banks have been advised to take a lenient view while reactivating accounts opened under welfare schemes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, the regulatory body in the country has also asked banks to conduct special onboarding and KYC update camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are also asked to run targeted awareness campaigns in rural and semi-urban areas to bring more users into the formal banking system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
