The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.

Written up from the same chapter

• Code of conductThe conduct obligations a broker accepts as a condition of registration — integrity, due skill and care, no manipulation, and a specific list of duties owed to the client and to other brokers.
• Enhanced Due DiligenceThe additional customer due diligence a Regulated Entity must perform where ML/TF risk is high — including source of wealth, Senior Management approval and enhanced ongoing monitoring.
• KYC Registration AgencyA SEBI-created agency that holds an investor's verified KYC record centrally, so that one KYC completed with any securities market intermediary works with all the others.
• Officially valid documentsThe alternatives to Aadhaar accepted as identity evidence for KYC — driving licence, passport, voter ID and the NREGA job card — all of which the client supplies voluntarily.
• SCORESSEBI's centralised web-based system for processing investor complaints, on which the company or intermediary must upload an Action Taken Report and the investor can watch the status online.
• Tipping offTelling a client that a suspicious transaction report about them has been or will be filed — illegal, and the reason the broker reports to the Financial Intelligence Unit in silence.
