KYC process before Improvement
• For mutual fund transactions, customers have to be KYC compliant
• KYC process for ABC Ltd is performed by third party vendors like CVL, NDML, CAMS
• Customer details such as identity proof, address proof, PAN card are obtained from
the customer and fed to the CVL system
• CVL verifies the various documents and updates the application status in its
database
1 > Approved
2 > Rejected
3 > On Hold
• These statuses are made available to ABC at midnight every day – daily updation

Problems identified
• Customers were permitted to get their KYC approvals from any of the
registered third party vendors.
• ABC Ltd. used to get the application status details from CVL which used to
internally co-ordinate with the other vendors like NDML, CAMS etc.
• Due to the different practices and codes used in NDML, CAMS, there used to
be delay in transmitting information to CVL and finally to ABC Ltd.
•Also, CVL used to update the application codes at midnight every day so there
was substantial time lag between the customer getting KYC compliant and
them starting mutual fund transactions.

Improvement
• Standardization of the application codes across the KYC industry
• CVL interlinked its system with NDML, CAMS and other third party vendors
• Updation of the application status codes started on a real time basis
• ABC Ltd interlinked the front end of their portal with the CVL database
• This led to crucial time saving and cost saving for ABC Ltd
• KYC process which earlier took around 2 days, after improvement now takes
only few hours.
