What to Do If Your KYC Status Is On-Hold, Rejected, or Under Process

What is a KRA, and what does it mean if my KYC status is on hold, rejected, or under process?

KRA stands for KYC Registration Agency. Registered with SEBI under the KYC Registration Agency Regulations, 2011, KRAs maintain the KYC records of investors centrally on behalf of SEBI-registered capital market intermediaries. The KYC process verifies the identity and details of a customer, which is mandatory to open a trading and demat account at FYERS.
