CKYC number explained: the 14-digit CKYC Identifier

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A CKYC number is the 14-digit KYC Identification Number (KIN) that CERSAI , the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India, generates when your know your customer record is first filed with the Central KYC Records Registry (CKYCRR) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act framework. It uniquely identifies a single KYC record so any reporting entity, a bank, a mutual fund, an NBFC , an insurer or a stockbroker , can retrieve your verified KYC once you quote the number, instead of collecting your documents again.

CKYC (Central KYC) is a centralised KYC repository operated by CERSAI (Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India) that holds standardised investor records across all SEBI / IRDAI / RBI / PFRDA-regulated financial entities. CKYC complements the KRA ecosystem by providing a broader cross-regulator KYC framework spanning mutual funds, banks, insurance, and pension funds.

For Indian mutual fund investors, CKYC enables one-time KYC completion that propagates across all financial-services accounts, reducing onboarding friction substantially.

How to fix a stuck 'pending verification' on Zerodha KYC

After submitting documents for a new Zerodha account, some applicants find their KYC status stuck on “Pending Verification” for longer than the normal 2 to 5 business-day window. In some cases, the application is silently rejected and the status never updates to “Rejected” in the portal.
