Aadhaar To Be Compulsory For AMCs’ Clients From January, Says BSE
India's oldest stock exchange BSE today asked asset management companies to ensure that individual clients compulsorily submit their Aadhaar details from January as part of compliance with anti-money laundering rules.
The instruction has been issued after the government amended in June, the Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules with regard to collection of Aadhaar number from clients.
Various requirements related to the amended rules have been “made mandatory, with effect from Jan. 1, 2018”, according to a BSE circular issued for the mutual fund segment.
In case a client is an individual who is eligible to be enrolled for Aadhaar, he or she will have to submit the Aadhaar number to the reporting entity – the asset management company, the exchange said.

If an individual client is not eligible to be enrolled for Aadhaar number, he or she should submit PAN or Form number 60 to the AMC. If the client does not submit the PAN, he/she will have to provide one certified copy of an officially valid document containing details of identity, address and a photograph.
