2. INTRODUCTION

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 ("PMLA") was brought into force with effect from 1st July 2005. The necessary Notifications / Rules under the said Act, namely the Prevention of Money-Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 ("PML Rules"), were published in the Gazette of India on 1st July 2005 by the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, and have been amended from time to time (including the amendments notified in 2023).

Pursuant to the recommendations made by the Financial Action Task Force ("FATF") on Anti-Money Laundering standards, SEBI has issued, and updates from time to time, guidelines on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Standards and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT). The currently applicable consolidated guidance is the SEBI Master Circular on "Guidelines on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Standards and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) / Obligations of Securities Market Intermediaries under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and Rules framed thereunder" dated 06 June 2024 (No. SEBI/HO/MIRSD/MIRSD-SECFATF/P/CIR/2024/78) (the "SEBI AML Master Circular"). The SEBI Master Circular for Investment Advisers dated 06 February 2026 (No. HO/38/12/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/I/4300/2026) read with the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013 ("IA Regulations") requires every registered Investment Adviser, being an intermediary registered under Section 12 of the SEBI Act, 1992, to put in place an effective AML/CFT framework in line with these guidelines.

Avdesh Mishra Capitals Private Limited has formulated this Policy on Prevention of Money Laundering and an effective AML/CFT programme to prohibit and actively prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and any activity that facilitates money laundering, the funding of terrorist or criminal activities, the flow of illegal money, or the concealment of money to avoid the payment of taxes. Money laundering may be defined as engaging in financial transactions that involve income derived from criminal activity, or transactions designed to conceal the true origin of criminally derived proceeds so that they appear to have been received through legitimate sources.

3. APPLICABILITY

This Policy applies to the Company, its directors, officers, employees, and persons associated with the investment advice, as well as to any affiliate, authorised representative or third-party service provider acting on its behalf, in accordance with the statutory provisions of the PMLA, the PML Rules, the SEBI AML Master Circular, the IA Regulations and the SEBI KYC (Know Your Client) norms, and is to be read in conjunction with the existing guidelines, as amended from time to time. The procedures set out below have been established to ensure that all employees know the identity of their clients and take appropriate steps to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

4. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Policy framework is to:

• Create awareness and provide clarity on KYC standards and AML/CFT measures;
• Establish a proper Customer Due Diligence (CDD) process before onboarding clients;
• Monitor and maintain records of all cash transactions of value exceeding INR 10 lakh;
• Maintain records of all series of integrally connected cash transactions where the monthly aggregate exceeds INR 10 lakh within one calendar month;
• Monitor, detect and report suspicious transactions to FIU-IND;
• Discourage and identify money laundering and terrorist financing activities;
• Take adequate and appropriate measures to follow the letter and spirit of the PMLA, the PML Rules and the SEBI AML Master Circular.

All employees shall refer all matters concerning the issues covered by this Policy to the Principal Officer and shall act in accordance with his instructions. All submissions required to be made by employees in terms of this Policy shall be addressed to the Principal Officer, who shall be responsible for maintaining and updating all records in accordance with this Policy and applicable law/regulation.

7. POLICY AND PROCEDURES TO COMBAT MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORIST FINANCING

Avdesh Mishra Capitals Private Limited has resolved that it would, as an internal policy, take adequate measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, and shall put in place a framework for identifying, monitoring and reporting suspected money laundering or terrorist financing transactions to FIU-IND in accordance with the PMLA, the PML Rules and the SEBI AML Master Circular.

8. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY

9. ASPECTS OF THE POLICY

• Obtaining sufficient information about the client in order to identify the natural person(s) who is/are the beneficial owner(s) of the securities, or on whose behalf the transaction is conducted, including persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement;
• Verifying the client's identity using reliable, independent source documents, data or information; and
• Conducting ongoing due diligence and scrutiny of the client account to ensure that the transactions conducted are consistent with the client's background, financial status, activities and risk profile.

The Customer Due Diligence (CDD) process includes three specific parameters:

1. Policy for Acceptance of Clients;
2. Client Identification Procedure; and
3. Suspicious Transactions identification and reporting.

10. CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE POLICY

The Company shall accept only those clients whose identity it is able to verify in accordance with the prescribed KYC norms. Verification may be carried out through in-person interaction, video / online KYC, or any other SEBI-approved mode, and through KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) and the Central KYC Records Registry (CKYCR).

The Company shall ensure that:

• No account / client relationship is established on a fictitious, benami or anonymous basis;
• All initial forms taken from clients are filled in completely, and all photocopies submitted are checked against original documents without exception;
• All supporting documents specified by SEBI and the applicable KYC norms are obtained and verified;
• A detailed search is carried out to ensure that the client does not appear in the defaulters / negative lists of regulators, or any sanctions or designated-persons list;
• Clients whose identity matches any person with a known criminal background, or who is banned in any manner (whether in terms of criminal or civil proceedings by any enforcement / regulatory agency worldwide), are not accepted.

In the case of a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) client whom the Company is unable to verify in person, the photocopies of all KYC documents and the PAN card shall be attested by the Indian Embassy / Consulate General in the country where the NRI resides, or otherwise verified in accordance with the prevailing guidelines, and shall be signed by the NRI. Such attestation may be waived where the NRI comes in person.

The KYC team shall, before admitting any person as a client, check (the following list being indicative and not exhaustive):

• https://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/home.html (FATF public statements / high-risk jurisdictions);
• https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/un-sc-consolidated-list (UNSC Consolidated List);
• https://www.watchoutinvestors.com (Watch-Out Investors database);
• Data available on SEBI and other relevant enforcement / regulatory websites; and
• Any other database available at the prevailing time.

Where the Company is unable to apply appropriate CDD measures ,for example where it is not possible to ascertain the identity of the client, where information provided is suspected to be non-genuine, or where the client is non-cooperative then no account shall be opened. In such cases the Company shall consider filing a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) and shall be cautious to ensure that it does not return securities or money that may be derived from suspicious activity, consulting the relevant authorities as appropriate.

11. CLIENTS OF SPECIAL CATEGORY

Enhanced caution and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) shall be exercised while accepting clients of the following special categories:

• Non-Resident clients (NRIs / PIOs);
• High Net-worth clients (clients having an annual income of INR 25 lakh or more, or a net worth of INR 10 crore or more);
• Trusts, charities, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and organisations receiving donations;
• Companies having close family shareholdings or beneficial ownership;
• Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) - individuals who are or have been entrusted with prominent public functions in a foreign country (e.g., Heads of State or Government, senior politicians, senior government / judicial / military officers, senior executives of state-owned corporations, important political party officials), and the family members or close relatives of such PEPs;
• Companies offering foreign exchange;
• Clients in or from high-risk countries / jurisdictions (as per the latest FATF and Government of India data) where the existence or effectiveness of money laundering controls is suspect, where there is unusual banking secrecy, countries active in narcotics production, countries with high corruption (per the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index), countries against which government sanctions are applied, and countries reputed to be sponsors of international terrorism, offshore financial centres, tax havens, or where fraud is highly prevalent;
• Clients with a dubious reputation as per public information available;
• Non-face-to-face clients, shell companies, and overseas entities.

12. IDENTIFICATION OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

For client relationships, and particularly for non-individual clients, sufficient information shall be obtained as part of CDD to identify and verify the natural person(s) who ultimately own or control the client and/or the person(s) on whose behalf a transaction is conducted (the "beneficial owner"). This includes persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement. Where it is apparent that securities are beneficially owned by a party other than the client, that party shall be identified and verified as early as possible.

In line with Rule 9 of the PML Rules (as amended in 2023) and the SEBI AML / KYC Master Circulars, the beneficial owner shall be determined as follows:

• No client registration form suspected to be fictitious shall be accepted, and no account shall be opened in a fictitious, benami or anonymous name;
• There shall be no compromise on the submission of mandatory information / documents; the client relationship shall be established only on receipt of mandatory information together with authentic supporting documents; and
• Where a client refuses to provide the required information / documents, the relationship shall not be established and the Company shall consider whether such reluctance gives rise to a suspicion warranting an STR.

13. CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE (CIP) / KYC

A mechanism shall be in place to establish the identity of every client, together with firm proof of address, so as to prevent the opening of any account that is fictitious, benami or anonymous in nature.

13.1 Documents that may be relied upon

• PAN Card: PAN is mandatory and is the most reliable document, as only one card is issued to a person and its genuineness can be independently verified through the Income Tax website.
• Proof of Address: A Voter's Identity Card, Passport, Aadhaar (in the manner permitted by law), bank statement, or latest electricity / telephone bill in the name of the client, among other officially valid documents (OVDs).

13.2 Documents to be obtained for non-individual clients

The following documents shall be obtained as part of the CIP for non-individual clients (the list is illustrative; the actual requirement will depend on the prevailing KYC guidelines):

14. MONEY LAUNDERING RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK CLASSIFICATION

The Company shall carry out and document a money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment so as to identify, assess and take effective measures to mitigate its risk with respect to clients, countries or geographical areas, nature and volume of transactions, products / services, and payment methods used by clients. The risk assessment shall take into account country-specific information circulated by the Government of India and SEBI from time to time, as well as the updated list of individuals and entities subjected to sanctions under the various United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs).

The level of money laundering risk to which the Company is exposed through a client relationship depends, among other things, on the type of client and nature of business, the type of product / service availed, and the country in which the client is domiciled. On this basis, clients shall be classified into three categories i.e. High Risk, Medium Risk and Low Risk, applying a risk-based approach.

The Company shall periodically review the risk categorisation of clients and the need for applying Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) where a higher risk is perceived. High-risk clients shall be reviewed at least once every six months, while medium-risk and low-risk clients shall be reviewed at least once a year. For high-risk clients, including PEPs and clients from high-risk jurisdictions, additional information shall be collected and verified (including the source of funds / wealth), and their transactions shall be subject to enhanced monitoring.

The following safeguards shall be observed while accepting and dealing with clients:

• No client account shall be opened in a fictitious / benami name or on an anonymous basis;
• The risk perception of the client shall be defined having regard to the client's location, nature of business activity and turnover, and the manner of making payments;
• Documentation prescribed by SEBI and other regulatory authorities (KYC, agreement, risk profiling, suitability and other records) shall be collected having regard to the perceived risk and the requirements of the PMLA;
• Where the Company is unable to apply appropriate CDD / KYC measures, the relationship shall not be established, and the Company shall consider filing an STR; and
• Where a client is permitted to act on behalf of another person / entity, the manner of operation, transaction limits and the rights and responsibilities of both parties shall be clearly specified, and the authority of the person acting on behalf of the client shall be adequately verified.

15. MONITORING OF TRANSACTIONS

• The Company shall regularly monitor client transactions to identify any deviation in transactions / activity, so as to ensure the effectiveness of the AML procedures;
• Special attention shall be paid to all unusually large transactions and unusual patterns which appear to have no apparent economic rationale or bona fide purpose;
• The Company may specify internal threshold limits for each class of client and shall pay special attention to transactions exceeding such limits;
• The background, including all documents / office records / clarifications relating to such transactions and the purpose thereof, shall be examined carefully, and the findings recorded in writing. Such findings, records and related documents shall be made available to the auditors and to SEBI / FIU-IND / other relevant authorities during audit, inspection or as and when required, and shall be maintained and preserved for the period prescribed under the PMLA.

16. CASH TRANSACTIONS

The Company shall not accept cash from clients under any circumstances. In line with the IA Regulations and the SEBI AML Master Circular, all fees and other considerations shall be received only from the client, strictly by account-payee crossed cheque / demand draft, or by direct credit to the bank account through NEFT / RTGS / IMPS / Verified UPI or any other mode specified by SEBI from time to time. The Company shall not accept cash deposits.

Where payment is received from a bank account other than the one captured in the records, the same may be accepted only after ascertaining that the client is the first holder of that account. In exceptional cases, a bank draft / pay-order may be accepted only after verifying that the identity of the remitter / purchaser matches that of the client, failing which a certificate from the issuing bank shall be obtained.

17. RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY FOR CLIENT DUE DILIGENCE

The Company may rely on a third party for the purpose of (i) identification and verification of the identity of a client, (ii) determination of whether the client is acting on behalf of a beneficial owner and identification of the beneficial owner, and (iii) verification of the identity of the beneficial owner. Such third party shall be regulated, supervised or monitored for, and have measures in place for compliance with, CDD and record-keeping requirements in line with the obligations under the PMLA. Such reliance shall be subject to the conditions specified in Rule 9(2) of the PML Rules and the SEBI circulars / guidelines issued from time to time. It is clarified that the Company shall remain ultimately responsible for CDD and for undertaking enhanced due diligence measures, as applicable.

18. RECORD KEEPING AND RETENTION

The Company shall comply with the record-keeping requirements contained in the SEBI Act, 1992, the IA Regulations, the PMLA and the PML Rules, and other applicable laws. In particular, the Company shall maintain proper records of the transactions prescribed under Rule 3 of the PML Rules, namely:

• All cash transactions of the value of more than INR 10 lakh, or its equivalent in foreign currency;
• All series of cash transactions integrally connected to each other, which have been individually valued below INR 10 lakh, where such series of transactions takes place within one calendar month and the monthly aggregate exceeds INR 10 lakh, or its equivalent in foreign currency;
• All cash transactions where forged or counterfeit currency notes or bank notes have been used as genuine, or where any forgery of a valuable security or document has taken place facilitating the transaction; and
• All suspicious transactions, whether or not made in cash, as referred to in the PML Rules.

18.1 Retention of records

In accordance with Section 12 of the PMLA read with Rule 6 of the PML Rules, the following retention terms shall be observed:

• Records of all transactions referred to in Rule 3 (and the records of information reported to FIU-IND) shall be maintained and preserved for a period of five years from the date of the transaction between the client and the Company;
• Records pertaining to client identification and CDD (such as copies of officially valid documents, account files and business correspondence) shall be maintained and preserved for a period of five years after the business relationship between the client and the Company has ended, or the account has been closed, whichever is later;
• Records shall be maintained in both hard and soft copies in a manner that allows easy and quick retrieval of data as and when requested by the competent authorities; and
• The confidentiality of records shall be maintained, and where an STR has been or is to be filed, the client shall not be told of the report or the suspicion ("no tipping off").

Note: The retention period prescribed under the PMLA is five years; some legacy intermediary documents reference ten years. This Policy adopts the statutory five-year period as currently prescribed under the PMLA and the PML Rules.

19. SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS MONITORING AND REPORTING

The Company shall, on an ongoing basis, monitor client transactions and circumstances in order to ascertain whether they are "suspicious" and therefore reportable to FIU-IND. A suspicious transaction is one which, to a person acting in good faith:

• Gives rise to a reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve the proceeds of crime, irrespective of the value involved;
• Appears to be made in circumstances of unusual or unjustified complexity;
• Appears to have no economic rationale or bona fide purpose; or
• Gives rise to a reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve the financing of activities relating to terrorism.

19.1 Indicators / criteria for ascertaining suspicious transactions

• Clients whose identity verification is difficult, or who are non-cooperative in providing information;
• Clients belonging to, or introduced by persons / entities in, high-risk countries;
• An increase in a client's business without an apparent justification, or turnover not commensurate with the client's financial standing;
• Unusually large cash deposits, or overseas receipts / payments of funds, with or without instructions to pay in cash;
• Transfer of proceeds to unrelated parties, negotiated / matched trades, or other transactions with no apparent economic purpose;
• Clients making huge and regular losses who nonetheless continue to place trades / orders, and where the source of funds is unclear;
• Asset management or advisory services for clients where the source of funds is not clear or not consistent with the client's apparent standing / business activity; and
• Unusual transactions undertaken by clients of special categories, or clients based in high-risk jurisdictions.

The Principal Officer shall record, in writing, the reasons for treating any transaction or series of transactions as suspicious, and shall ensure that there is no undue delay in arriving at such a conclusion.

20. RECORDS OF INFORMATION REPORTED TO FIU-IND

The Company shall maintain and preserve the records of information relating to transactions, whether attempted or executed, that are reported to the Director, FIU-IND, as required under Rules 7 and 8 of the PML Rules, for a period of five years from the date of the transaction between the client and the Company.

21. LIST OF DESIGNATED INDIVIDUALS / ENTITIES (UNSC)

An updated list of individuals and entities that are subject to various sanction measures such as freezing of assets / accounts and denial of financial services as approved by the Security Council Committees established pursuant to various United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) is available on the UN website. The Company shall ensure that no account / client relationship is established in the name of anyone whose name appears in such list, and shall continuously scan all existing client relationships to ensure that none is held by or linked to any of the entities or individuals included in the list. Full details of any client bearing resemblance to any individual / entity in the list shall immediately be intimated to SEBI and FIU-IND.

22. FREEZING OF FUNDS AND ASSETS UNDER SECTION 51A OF UAPA

Section 51A of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 ("UAPA"), relating to the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, was brought into effect through the UAPA (Amendment) Act, 2008. In this regard, the Central Government has issued an Order dated 02 February 2021 (which supersedes the earlier Order dated 27 August 2009), detailing the procedure for the implementation of Section 51A of the UAPA, read with the relevant SEBI circular (including No. SEBI/HO/MIRSD/DOP/CIR/P/2021/36 dated 25 March 2021).

Under the said provisions, the Central Government is empowered to freeze, seize or attach funds and other financial assets or economic resources held by, on behalf of, or at the direction of the individuals or entities listed in the Schedule to the Order, or any other person engaged in or suspected to be engaged in terrorism, and to prohibit any individual or entity from making any funds, financial assets, economic resources or related services available for the benefit of such listed individuals or entities. The Company shall ensure the effective and expeditious implementation of the procedure laid down in the said UAPA Order.

23. REPORTING TO FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE UNIT-INDIA (FIU-IND)

In terms of the PML Rules, the Company is required to report information relating to cash and suspicious transactions to the Director, FIU-IND, at the following address:

Director, FIU-IND,

• The Principal Officer shall be responsible for the timely submission of the CTR, STR and NTR to FIU-IND, and utmost confidentiality shall be maintained in filing such reports;
• No "nil" reporting is required where there are no cash / suspicious / non-profit organisation transactions to be reported; and
• No restriction shall be placed on operations in an account merely because an STR has been filed. The Company, its officers and employees (permanent and temporary) are prohibited from disclosing ("tipping off") the fact that an STR or related information is being or has been reported. The Company shall file an STR wherever it has reasonable grounds to believe that a transaction involves the proceeds of crime, irrespective of the amount or any threshold for predicate offences specified in the Schedule to the PMLA.

25. DESIGNATION OF OFFICERS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH PMLA

To ensure that the Company properly discharges its legal obligations under the PMLA, the following officers have been designated, and their names, designations and addresses (including email addresses), and any changes therein, have been / shall be intimated to the Director, FIU-IND:

The Principal Officer acts as the central reference point for facilitating onward reporting of suspicious transactions and for the identification and assessment of potentially suspicious transactions, and shall have access to, and be able to report to, the Board / senior management at the next reporting level. Any further information or clarification in this regard may be obtained from the Principal Officer.
