Foreign students arriving in India are facing difficulties in complying with the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms while opening a bank account due to non-availability of any proof of local address therefore it has been decided to lay down a procedure for opening accounts of foreign students who are not able to provide an immediate address proof while approaching a bank for opening bank account.
