Frequently asked questions

Common questions from HR, compliance, and operations teams.

Under India's Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), entities regulated by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and PFRDA must conduct customer and counterparty AML screening. This includes banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, stockbrokers, mutual funds, payment aggregators, and other reporting entities.

PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening checks whether a customer, director, or counterparty holds or has held a prominent public position — such as a government minister, senior bureaucrat, or military official. Indian regulated entities are required to apply enhanced due diligence to PEPs under PMLA guidelines.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying a person's identity using documents like Aadhaar or PAN. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening goes further — it checks the person against global sanctions lists, PEP databases, watchlists, and adverse media to assess financial crime risk.

RBI and SEBI guidelines require regulated entities to screen customers at onboarding and periodically thereafter — typically annually for standard-risk customers and more frequently for high-risk accounts. Sanctions lists and PEP databases should be checked on an ongoing basis as they are updated daily.
