- Escrow accountThe security an acquirer must deposit before a takeover open offer — 25% of the first Rs 500 crore of consideration plus 10% of the balance — so that the money to pay tendering shareholders is ring-fenced.
- In-person verificationThe mandatory step in which an authorised official physically confirms that the person opening the account is the person in the KYC documents, and records who did it, when, and in what capacity.
