Q95: According to the RBI Master Direction on KYC (updated 2025), which of the following statements correctly describe the documentation standards and verification methods for opening bank accounts?
The "Officially Valid Documents" (OVDs) are limited to six specific documents (Passport, Driving License, Voter ID, NREGA Job Card, NPR Letter, and Aadhaar); the PAN Card is not an OVD for KYC because it does not contain the holder's address.
A "Small Account" can be opened by a person who lacks any valid OVD, provided the account operates under strict limitations such as a maximum balance of Rs. 50,000 and no foreign remittances.
The Video Customer Identification Process (V-CIP) can be conducted by a Business Correspondent (BC) from a remote location using their personal device to facilitate easy onboarding in rural areas.
Once a customer's KYC data is uploaded to the Central KYC Records Registry (CKYCR) and a unique 14-digit identifier is generated, the customer generally does not need to submit fresh documents when opening an account with another reporting entity.

✅ Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is Option B. PAN is not an OVD (for address). Small accounts allow no OVD.
CKYC identifier aids interoperability.
V-CIP cannot be done by BCs (must be bank officials), making statement 3 incorrect.
Documentation is the base of the IIBF AML KYC Exam 2026.
