About CDSL

CDSL Ventures Limited is recognised as India's first registered KYC Registration Agency, giving the company an early start in this segment. The entity runs a central KYC repository that serves stock brokers, mutual fund houses, and other regulated organisations, offering a shared data layer instead of separate records at each intermediary.

The 10 crore KYC records milestone reflects broader shifts in how Indian investors access financial products. More individuals now open demat, trading, and mutual fund accounts digitally, while intermediaries prefer Aadhaar-based checks and online document uploads. Regulators have also stressed standard KYC norms to reduce gaps that could affect market integrity.
