Compliance
IFSCA Compliance
Registration conditions, periodic returns and AML obligations
What this covers
The scope, in plain terms
Once your certificate of registration is issued, the conditions attached to it become the operating rulebook — periodic returns, net worth maintenance, KYC/AML programme, disclosures and event-based intimations. We hold that rulebook and run it for you.
Who needs it: Every IFSCA-registered entity: FMEs, broker dealers, IBUs, finance companies, insurance offices, fintech authorisations and ancillary service providers.
Applicable law
Applicable IFSCA regulations for your category
For example the IFSCA (Fund Management) Regulations, the IFSCA (Capital Market Intermediaries) Regulations, the IFSCA (Banking) Regulations or the IFSCA (Finance Company) Regulations.
