Evolution of KYC Regulations

KYC regulations evolved over time to combat financial crimes like terrorist funding and money laundering. Initially, identity proofs weren't stringent, allowing for potential misuse. Inspired by events like the 9/11 attacks, the RBI in India implemented strict KYC rules by 2005. The introduction of Adar in 2010 simplified KYC processes, reducing verification costs significantly. However, concerns over privacy issues and misuse of customer data led to stricter regulations, impacting financial institutions.
