However, the regulator has extended it further for 3 months from the earlier timeline till 30th June 2022. NSDL has issed a circular dated 25th March 2022 informing account holders about this extension of KYC timelines.
Before the extension of timeline, all stock brokers and depository participants have started sending sms and emails to their non-compliant customers for submission of their KYC documents.
The market regulator wants that Demat and trading accounts hooders must submit six of their important KYC details.

The six important KYC aspects that customers must submit include:
1. Name as per KYC
2. PAN

This six must KYC details are mandatory to be submitted by both existing and new Demat and Trading account holders.
