Complete KYC helps dividends reach you, and avoids holdups when you later request dematerialisation, duplicate certificates or transmission.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to do this for every company?
KYC is maintained by each company's RTA, so it must be completed for each folio unless the RTA allows linking.
