Sebi directs entities to make digital KYC accessible for disabled users

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has mandated that all regulated entities under its purview make their digital Know Your Client (KYC) processes accessible to persons with disabilities.

In line with this, Sebi has issued a revised set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) that provide detailed guidance for intermediaries on facilitating account opening for individuals with disabilities, as per a circular issued by the regulator earlier on Friday.
