Trading members must restrict non-compliant clients whose KYC records remain on hold by KRAs from trading or squaring off open positions effective May 23, 2026. This restriction applies to clients with Aadhaar and non-Aadhaar based Officially Valid Documents uploaded between April 1, 2026, and April 30, 2026, whose KYC validation is incomplete. Affected clients cannot trade or square off open positions until they meet validation requirements. Open positions will naturally expire on contract expiry dates. The Exchange flags non-compliant PANs as not permitted to trade starting May 23, 2026. The Exchange permits trading on T+1 for PANs that become compliant, based on information received from the KRA on T Day. Regulated entities must also block debit transactions and suspend trading accounts upon receiving investor demise data from KRAs.
