CKYC
Central KYC Registry is a centralized repository of KYC records of customers
in the financial sector with uniform KYC norms and inter-usability of the
KYC records across the sector with an objective to reduce the burden of
producing KYC documents and getting those verified every time when the
customer creates a new relationship with a financial entity.

Reconstruction and Security interest of India (CERSAI) to perform the
function of CKYC Records Registry under PMLA rules’ 2005.
