HIGHLIGHTS
  • All DTH operators are now required to undertake a KYC process for their existing as well as new subscribers.
  • Operators have to reach out to existing customers for completing the KYC process within a span of two years.
  • A representative of a particular DTH operator will need to verify the address of the customer before installing the box.

Update

for existing set top boxes, which are not attached to any mobile number of the subscriber, efforts should be made by the DTH operator to associate such set top boxes issued by them to link with a mobile number within a period of two years

A fine general manager of NABARD once told me and others

KYC should be know your customer and not KILL YOUR CUSTOMER



now we are on the kill path.

they let big thieves loot our banking system and go away.
and then keep harassing ordinary people with kyc so that they can spy on them and use the data to win elections.

I wonder why do they need KYC for DTH, for wallets I understand. But for DTH, why? Have people started to load their money into DTH to hide it?

people should start dumping dth and switch to online entertainments. only when the dth companies start losing money, these gujju people will get hit.

but most DTH broadcasters for this region aren’t of Gujarati origin.
even if they are, i didn’t get the reference🙄

when, like China, people here want/think KYC for social media would check trolling… then maybe
KYC for DTH😆 would help increase direct tax mopup😄

like financial institutions report quantum transactions
DTH companies will report who all subscribe to UHD channels (thus proving that they’ve high end TV sets).
soon, like subsidised cooking gas, any family with more than one 4K TV set will have additional entertainment cess🙄😶

I don’t know why govt doing this …pathetic decision…logic is absurd…for looting thousands of crores from banks like Nirav modi no KYC needed but one way communication KYC needed …jai trai…
If logic of DTH outside India u can easily track by customs for that KYC for whole India is absurd
