PMLA Policy

 Anti Money Laundering Policy

Back ground

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 came into effect from 1st July 2005. SEBI vide circular dated 18th January 2006 required market intermediaries to lay down policy framework for A nti Money Laundering measures to be followed. SEBI has also issued Master   Circular dated 19th December 2008 & circular CIR/MIRSD/1/2014 dt. 12.03.2014. Subsequently amended in Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 as per the gazette notification dated June 1, 2017.

 The   PMLA   2002   and    Rules   notified thereunder   impose an obligation on intermediaries to verify identity of clients, maintain records and furnish information to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)-India.

What is Money  Laundering?

Money  Laundering defined as cleansing of dirty  money obtained from legitimate or illegitimate activities including drug trafficking, terrorism, organized crime,  fraud and  many  other  crimes  with  the  objective  of hiding its source  and  rendering it in legally  usable  form.  It is any act or attempted act to conceal or disguise the identity of illegally obtained proceeds so that they appear to have originated from legitimate sources. The  process of  money  laundering  involves creating  a  web  of  financial transactions so as to hide the origin  of and true nature of these funds.

This is done three phases- placement Phase, Layering Phase & Integration Phase.

Objectives

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) forms the core of the legal framework put in place by India to combat money laundering. PMLA and the Rules notified there under came into force with effect from July 1, 2005.

The PMLA and rules notified there under impose obligation on banking companies, financial institution and intermediaries to verify identity of clients, maintain records and furnish information to FIU-INDIA. PMLA defines money laundering offence and provides for the freezing, seizure and confiscation of the proceeds of crime. Monitor / maintain record of all cash transactions of the value of more than Rs. 10 lacs or its equivalent in foreign currency.

Whenever it is apparent that the securities acquired or maintained through an account are beneficially owned by a party other than the client, that party shall   be identified using   client identification and verification procedures. The beneficial owner is the natural person or persons who ultimately own, control or influence a client and/or persons on whose   behalf a transaction is  being   It also incorporates those   persons who   exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement.
  2. Verify the client’s identity using reliable, independent source documents, data or information;

(D) Policy for acceptance of clients

The following safeguards are to be followed while accepting the clients:-

No account is opened in a fictitious / benami name or on an anonymous basis. To ensure this we must insist the client to fill up all the necessary details in the KYC form in our presence and obtain all the necessary documentary evidence in support of the information filled in KYC. We identify the client whether he is debarred entity or not?

We must verify all the documents submitted in support of information filled in the KYC form with the originals and in-person verification should be done by our own staff.  Moreover new client should either be introduced by an existing customer or by the senior official of the company.

In  case  we   have   any   doubt  that   in-complete  / fictitious  information  is submitted by the client, we must  ask for such  additional information so as to satisfy ourselves about  the genuineness of the clients.

We should not continue to do business with such a person and file a suspicious activity report. We should also evaluate whether there is suspicious trading in  the  account and  whether there  is a need  to  freeze  or close the account.

We  should be  careful  while  accepting clients  of special  category like  NRIs, HNIs,  Trust,  Charities, NGOs,  Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), persons of foreign     origin,     companies   having    closed     share holding/ownership, companies dealing in foreign  currency, overseas in high  risk  countries, non face to face clients,  clients  with  dubious background. Current/Former senior high profile politician, Companies offering foreign exchange, etc.) or clients from high-risk countries or  clients  belonging to  countries where corruption/fraud level  is high.  Scrutinize minutely the records/documents pertaining to clients belonging to aforesaid category.

Do not compromise on  submission of mandatory information / documents. Client’s account should be opened only on receipt of mandatory information along with authentic supporting documents as per the regulatory guidelines. Do not  open  the  accounts where the  client  refuses  to provide information / documents and  we  should have  sufficient to  reject  the  client  towards this reluctance.

(E)  Risk based Approach

It  is  recognized that   certain   clients   may  be  of  a  higher or  lower   risk  category depending on  the  circumstances such  as the  client’s background, type  of business relationship or  transaction etc.  As such, the registered intermediaries shall apply each of the client due diligence measures on a risk sensitive basis. The basic principle enshrined in  this  approach is  that   the  registered  intermediaries  shall  adopt  an enhanced  client   due    diligence  process  for   higher  risk   categories  of   clients. Conversely, a simplified client due diligence process may be adopted for lower risk categories of clients.  In line  with  the  risk-based approach, the  type  and  amount of identification information and  documents that  registered intermediaries shall obtain necessarily depend  on  the  risk  category of  a  particular client.  Further, low risk provisions shall not apply when there   are suspicions of ML/FT or when other factors give rise to a belief that the customer does not in fact pose a low risk.

Risk Assessment

We shall  carry  out  risk assessment to identify, assess  and  take effective  measures to mitigate its money laundering and  terrorist financing risk with  respect to its clients, countries  or   geographical  areas,   nature  and   volume  of  transactions,  payment methods used  by  clients,  etc. The  risk  assessment shall  also  take  into  account any country specific information that  is circulated by the Government of India  and  SEBI from  time  to time,  as well  as, the  updated list of individuals and  entities who  are subjected  to  sanction  measures  as  required  under  the  various  United  Nations’ Security         Council         Resolutions                http://www.un.org/sc/committees/ 1267/aq_sanctions_list.shtml    and     http://www.un.org/sc/     committees/1988/ list.html).

The  risk  assessment carried out  shall  consider all  the  relevant risk  factors  before determining the level of overall  risk and  the appropriate level and  type  of mitigation to  be  applied. The  assessment shall  be  documented, updated regularly and  made available to competent authorities and self-regulating bodies,  as and  when required

Employees’ Training

Company adopted an ongoing employee training program so that the members of the staff are adequately trained in AML procedures. Training requirements have specific    focuses    for   frontline   staff,   back   office   staff,   compliance   staff,   risk management staff and staff dealing with new customers. It is crucial  that  all those concerned fully  understand the  rationale behind these  guidelines, obligations and requirements, implement them  consistently and  are  sensitive to  the  risks  of their systems being  misused by unscrupulous elements. The said training programme is being conducted through personal meeting/presentation.

Investors  Education

Implementation of AML measures requires back office and trading staff to demand certain information from investors which may be of personal nature or which have hitherto never been called for. Such information can include documents evidencing source of funds/income tax returns/bank records etc. This  can  sometimes lead  to raising of  questions by  the  customer with  regard to  the  motive and  purpose of collecting such information. There is, therefore, a need  for the back office and trading staff  to  sensitize their  customers about  these  requirements as the  ones  emanating from  AML  framework. The back office and trading staff should prepare specific literature/ pamphlets etc. so as to educate the customer of the objectives of the AML programme.
