Govt eases Aadhaar KYC norms for opening bank account for migrants; allows self-declared local address as proof

New Delhi: The government has eased KYC norms for migrants to open a bank account by allowing them to give a self-declared local address as sufficient proof of residence in case it is different from one mentioned in Aadhaar document. Migrants face difficulties in having proof of residence as the address on Aadhaar is different from their current location. The Department of Revenue on Thursday said its notification is with regard to easing of Aadhaar KYC use for the opening of the bank account for the convenience of people who often migrate from place to place for jobs or any other reason. [caption id=“attachment_5336741” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Representational image. PTI Representational image. PTI[/caption] The changes were made by amending the Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, as per a gazette notification issued on Wednesday. This amendment has been issued to allow people who have used Aadhaar KYC to open a bank account and want to give an address different from the address in Aadhaar as the current address on a self-declaration basis. “The amended PMLR applies only to Aadhaar KYC purposes for the opening of bank account and not for the change of address in Aadhaar card. “If a person has moved residence for purposes of work and needs to use Aadhaar KYC for opening a new bank account or change his bank branch, etc., he can give a self-declaration of new address while retaining the original address on his Aadhaar card,” Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said. The PML Rules amendment makes opening bank account easier for individuals who are living in an address different from their address in Aadhaar, he said, adding that people who submitted Aadhaar card with a different address as KYC at banks can now submit local address by providing a self-declaration. He further said that with this amendment, giving a self-declaration about a local address or any address other than the one on Aadhaar card will be sufficient as address proof to open a bank account with Aadhaar KYC. This amendment brings in convenience especially for the migrant people. For example, if a migrant worker comes from Jharkhand to Mumbai and his/her Aadhaar has Jharkhand’s address, then to open a bank account a self-declaration about his/her local address in Mumbai will be sufficient for Aadhaar KYC. The change has been made through an amendment in the PML Rules and not by way of amending Aadhaar Act/Regulations and it does not apply to change of address in Aadhaar card.
