Kind attention of Demat customers: PAN requirement for all Demat accounts

NSDL has directed all the Depository Participants (DPs) to obtain copies of the Permanent Account Number (PAN) Card as a compulsory document for all categories of Demat account holders [including resident account holders, minors, trusts, foreign corporate bodies, banks, corporates, FIIs and NRIs].

NSDL has advised all DPs to meet this requirement latest by December 31, 2006. In case an account holder fails to submit the PAN details to the Participant and/or there are discrepancies in the PAN details, which are not resolved by the given date, his account would be 'Suspended for Debit' until correct PAN details are received and updated.

In view of the above guidelines, all Retail Demat Account Holders are requested to submit a copy of their PAN card [and of family member/friends in case of joint accounts] to any HSBC Branch convenient to you at the earliest. You can submit these to any Demat Officer or at the May I Help You Desk.

Please ensure the following:

1. Mention the correct client ID on each copy of PAN Card.
2. In case you have multiple Retail Demat accounts, kindly get a separate copy of your PAN card for each account.
3. The PAN copies are NOT to be posted / couriered to the branch. NSDL instructions require that the PAN copy be submitted after being attested against the original by a Branch Official. Hence, you are requested to carry the original PAN Card along with the copies.

Please ensure that you are able to meet these requirements at the earliest. In case you have already submitted a copy of PAN card for your Retail Demat account, kindly ignore this message.
