Employment of third-party vendors to conduct KYC processes is another issue. They bombard customers with document requests, sometimes without a proper understanding of what is needed.
These regulations are not intervention-based or focused on incentives. Instead, strategies such as counselling or voluntary game limits could promote long-term behaviour change.

This KYC is a nightmare if you have two addresses or have some mismatch in even a single initial in your name! It is as if KYC process has been worked out for robots with assigned numeric values during their manufacturing process! I am stuck with my MF house KYC rejecting my KYC saying there is some mismatch!
All these procedures make the lives of genuine commoners a living hell while the one who commit fraud always have the resources to find a way out and continue to whatever they have been doing – kyc or no kyc!
Instead of forcing people to change names, drop initials in 10s of records simply allow initials in PAN database. It will save hassles to millions of South Indians
