I got am email today from [email protected] stating that my KYC is updated with them by IDFC bank. I open account with IDFC two days back but I have never heard of CKYC. Does any one know if this is a new govt agency for Central kyc, as it claims or a phishing attempt.
Message in email:

CKYC is mandatory by sebi so if you have ever invested in shares directly or invested more than 50k in any single MF in a year then you must already have CKYC. IDFC just updates for a person already having CKYC. You can check whether your pan is ckyc verified using this link:

@caks2006407 CKYC was designed with this concept of universal acceptability in mind but as of now it has been mandatory only by SEBI not RBI so for banks you will have to do kyc every time.
Don’t worry bro. They just authenticated your address. https://www.ckycindia.in/ckyc/ind...hp
They need to replace the word “updated”
Yeah, “Updated” means Registered / Submitted…
Nothing to worry….
Nothing to worry..now you received a kyc number with you which is allotted to you..if you ever have to do kyc with anyother thing e.g. bank account opening, mutual fund,sim card, you just need to give this number to them and not the kyc documents(aadhar, DL etc). They will use this number to verify the documents..that’s it. And kyc will be done very smoothly.
(TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE)
I was searching for this info, Central word implies this kind of concept and needed as now we open accounts in so many banks its tedious to update KYC in each and every bank
Please take a look at your updated CKYC to ensure that they have not messed up the details. In my case, Axis “Horrible” Bank made wrong date of birth entry for eg instead of 01 date, they wrote 10. (Day 10 instead of Day 01)
How to check link pls?
