Know Your Customer (KYC) at GRUH

| The Government of India has framed the Prevention of Money
Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) to prevent money laundering and to
provide for confiscation of property derived from or involved in
money laundering and for matters connected therewith or incidental
thereto. National Housing Bank (NHB), the regulatory authority for
Housing Finance Companies (HFCs), has advised HFCs to ensure that a
proper policy framework on ‘Know Your Customer' and Anti-Money
Laundering measures are formulated and put in place by all HFCs with
the approval of the Board. NHB has also advised that HFCs must ensure
on a continuous basis that they are fully compliant with the
provisions of the NHB circular.
Accordingly GRUH has implemented the KYC norms based on the
guidelines issued by NHB in this regards. Every customer is thereby
required to submit proof of identity and residence, in compliance
with the requirement of the PMLA. With a view to make the process
customer friendly GRUH has devised a Customer Relationship Form (CRF)
to be filled in by every customer, as a one time exercise. The
customer is required to submit the CRF forms along with the necessary
proofs of identity and residence, as mentioned in the CRF. On receipt
of the completed CRF along with proof of identity and residence, GRUH
will issue a unique Customer Identification Number (CIN). The
customer can quote the CIN for all dealings with GRUH and need not
submit the proofs of identification and residence until there is any
change in the details submitted. Please note that change in the name
or address or change in any other information submitted along with
the CRF will be entertained only if the request for change is
received with the necessary documentary evidence.
Financial Intelligence Unit India (FIU-IND), is a central national
agency responsible for receiving, processing, analyzing and
disseminating information related to suspected financial
transactions. Every banking company, financial institution and
intermediary is required to designate an officer as Principal Officer
for the purpose of PMLA, who will be responsible to furnish the
information to the Director, FIU-IND on the basis of information
available with the banking company financial institution and
intermediary.
Accordingly GRUH will be reporting suspicious transactions to the
FIU-IND. GRUH or its employees will not be personally liable for any
loss that might arise to the customer for any action initiated by NHB
or FIU-IND or any regulatory authority, due to the misrepresentation,
suppression or concealment of information. For more information on
GRUH's KYC Policy please to refer to the relevant section under
"Customer Relationship" |
| |
Fair Practice Code |
| The National Housing Bank has issued directives to HFCs to
formulate a policy on Fair Practice Code (FPC). The objective of
this code is to foster confidence in the housing finance system
through fair practices, increased transparency and competition aimed
at achieving higher operating standards; leading to fair and cordial
relationship between the customer and the HFCs. GRUH has accordingly
formulated the FPC applicable to all dealings, products, services
and other offerings by GRUH. The FPC has been implemented across all
