Rejection of Applications for Opening Accounts

Where the Bank is unable to apply appropriate customer due diligence measures i.e. unable to verify the identity and/or obtain documents required as per the risk categorization due to non-cooperation of the customer or the data/information furnished to the bank is not reliable, it may take a decision not to open the account.

Note

The officer responsible for opening of accounts should scrutinize the originals of the photo ID/address documents and satisfy himself / herself about the prima facie authenticity of the same. Photocopies of these documents should be authenticated by the officer and kept along with the account opening form.
