The policy approved by the Board of banks should clearly spell out the Customer Identification Procedure to be carried out at different stages i.e. while establishing a banking relationship. i.e. while establishing a banking relationship; carrying out a financial transaction or when the bank has a doubt about the authenticity/veracity or the adequacy of the previously obtained customer identification data. Identifying the customer and verifying his/ her identity by using reliable, independent source documents, data or information.
- 12. Banks can effectively control and reduce their risk only if they have an understanding of the normal and reasonable activity of the customer –to identify transactions that fall outside the regular pattern of activity. However, the extent of monitoring will depend on the risk sensitivity of the account The bank may prescribe threshold limits for a particular category of accounts and pay particular attention to the transactions which exceed these limits.
- 13. The Board of Directors of the bank should ensure that an effective KYC programme is put in place by establishing appropriate procedures and ensuring their effective implementation. Responsibility should be explicitly allocated within the bank for ensuring that the bank’s policies and procedures are implemented effectively. Apart from the key elements the other things that a bank should look into customer education, introduction of new technologies, applicability to branches outside India and appointment of principal officer.
