1. Forward

 The Forward Markets Commission (FMC) vide circular no: 07.01.2008-MKT-II dated

30.10.2009 has, in order to protect the commodity derivatives market from the menace of money laundering, felt it necessary to bring the members of commodity exchanges within the reporting ambit of Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002 (PMLA). The members of the exchanges have, therefore, to follow and adopt:

• The Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002
• Prevention of Money laundering (Maintenance of records of the nature and value of transaction, the procedure and manner of maintaining and time for furnishing information and verification and maintenance of the identity of clients of the Banking companies, Financial Institutions and Intermediaries) Rules, 2005
• All other rules, regulations, notifications issued by the Government of India from time to time in that behalf.

FMC‟s basic objective is that Members have adequate controls and procedures in place so that they know the customers with whom they are dealing.

Also, SEBI had issued the Guidelines on Anti Money Laundering Standards vide their notification No.ISD/CIR/RR/AML/1/06 dated 18th January 2006 and vide letter No.ISD/CIR/RR/AML/2/06 dated 20th March 2006 had issued the obligations of the intermediaries registered under Section 12 of SEBI Act, 1992. As per these SEBI guidelines, all intermediaries have been advised to ensure that proper policy frameworks are put in place as per the Guidelines on Anti Money Laundering Standards notified by SEBI.

2. Preamble

Money Laundering is a serious threat to financial system of all countries and it leads to destruction of the country’s sovereignty and character. Financial sector institutions, Banks and Intermediaries remain the primary gateway to the financial system of any country. Once illegal proceeds get into a depository institution, they can be moved instantly by wire or disguised through coming with legitimate funds.  With the advent of Internet and remote banking, depository institutions face increased challenges identifying customers and their customers‟sources of funds.

Need for AML Policy:

To prevent criminal elements from using the Commodities trading system for money laundering activities.

To enable the broker to know/understand the customers and their financial dealings better, this in turn would help to manage risks prudently.

To put in place appropriate controls for detection and reporting of suspicious activities in accordance with applicable laws/laid down procedures.

To comply with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines.

To take necessary steps to ensure that the concerned staff is adequately trained in PML procedures. Reporting of STRs to FIU as per the guidelines of PML Rules, 2002.

3. Policy of Gill Broking Private Limited

Gill Broking Private Limited has resolved that it would, as an internal policy, take adequate measures to prevent money laundering and shall put in place a frame-work to report cash and suspicious transactions to FIU as per the guidelines of PMLA Rules, 2002.

4.     Definitions:

1. “Money Laundering”: Money Laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to hide and disguise the true origin and ownership of the proceeds of their criminal activities, thereby avoiding prosecution, conviction and confiscation of the criminal funds. The term “Money Laundering” is also used when the funds are used for terrorist financing, though the origin of the funds may be legitimate.

This process is often achieved by converting the original illegally obtained proceeds from their original form, usually cash, into other forms such as deposits or securities and by transferring them from one financial institution to another using the account of apparently different persons or businesses.

The process of ML, regardless of its degree of complexity, is accomplished in three stages, namely the placement stage, layering stage and integration stage.

Placement Stage: 

The first stage is successfully disposing of the physical cash received through illegal activity. The crooks accomplish this by placing this into traditional or non-traditional financial institutions. This involves the physical movement of the cash proceeds. For most criminal transactions, cash is the most common medium of exchange and criminals who accumulate large volumes of cash are the most vulnerable to detection and seizure. As a result, money launderers will attempt, through placement, to channel the  funds into financial institutions.

Layering Stage:

After the funds enter the company, the money launderer will further separate the illicit proceeds from their illegal source through a process of layering. Layering occurs by conducting multiple, complex, financial transactions that make it difficult to link the money to an illegal activity. In this stage he concentrates on separation of proceeds from criminal activity through the use of various layers of monetary transactions. These layers are aimed at wiping audit trails, disguise the origin and maintain anonymity for people  behind the transactions.

Integration stage: 

The final link in money laundering process is sometimes called the integration stage. This occurs when  the laundered or cleaned up money is legitimately brought back into financial systems operated by end user and when it is safe and insulated from enquiry by any agency with a legitimate reason for querying the existence of money. Integration moves the funds back into the economy with the appearance of being normal business earnings. It would become extremely difficult at this point to distinguish between illicit funds and legitimate funds.

Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002 defines the Offence of Money Laundering as:

1. “Whosoever directly or indirectly attempts to indulge or knowingly assists or knowingly is party or is actually involved in any process or activity connected with the proceeds of crime and projecting it as untainted property shall be guilty of the offence of money ”
2. “Proceeds of crime” has been defined in Section 2 of the PMLA as the property derived or obtained directly or indirectly by any person, as a result of criminal activity relating to a scheduled offence or the value of such

• “Scheduled Offences”, as per section 2 of PMLA, are specified in two parts of the schedule to PMLA. The value involved in offences specified in Part B should be Rs.30 lakhs or

1. “Suspicious transactions”:  Rule  2(1)  (g)   of   PMLA-2002  defines   suspicious transactions as: A transaction whether or not made in cash which, to a person acting in good faith-

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

1. A customer for the purpose of KYC Policy is defined as:

• A person or entity that maintains an account and/or has a business relationship with the company;
• One on whose behalf the account is maintained (i.e., the beneficial owner);
• Any person or entity connected with a financial transaction which can pose significant reputational or other risks to the

1. Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) – INDIA

It is an independent body to report directly to the Economic Intelligence Council (EIC) headed by the Finance Minister; FIU-IND has been established as the central national agency responsible for receiving, processing, analyzing and disseminating information relating to suspect financial transactions. FIU-IND is also responsible for coordinating and stretching efforts of national and international intelligence and enforcement agencies in pursuing the global efforts against money laundering and related crimes.

5.   Implementation of this Policy:

 Mr. Charanpreet Gill, Commodity Broking will be the Principal Officer who will be responsible for Compliance of the provisions of the PMLA and AML Guidelines

Act as a central reference point and play an active role in identification & assessment of potentially suspicious transactions

Ensure that Gill Broking Pvt. Ltd. discharges its legal obligation to report suspicious transactions to the concerned authorities.

6.  CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS – Commodity Broking Market 

The main aspect of this policy is the Customer Due Diligence Process which means:

Obtaining sufficient information about to the client in order to identify who is the actual beneficial owner of the securities or on whose behalf transaction is conducted.

Verify the customer’s identity using reliable, independent source document, data or information.

Conduct on-going due diligence and scrutiny of the account/client to ensure that the transaction conducted are consistent with the client’s background/financial status, its activities and risk profile.

The Customer Due Diligence Process includes specific parameters:

I.   CUSTOMER (CLIENT) ACCEPTANCE POLICY

1.CUSTOMER (CLIENT) IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE 

Objective: To have a mechanism in place to establish identity of the client along with firm proof of address to prevent opening of any account which is fictitious / benami / anonymous in nature.

Documents which can be relied upon:

 PAN Card: PAN card is mandatory and is most reliable document as only one card is issued to an individual and we can independently check its genuineness through IT website.

IDENTITY Proof: PAN Card itself can serve as proof of identity. However, in case PAN card carries an old photograph of the holder, which does not match current facial features of the client, we should take other identity proof in form of Voter’s Identity card, Passport, Ration Card or any Government/PSU/Bank issued photo identity card.

DOCUMENTS TO BE OBTAINED AS PART OF CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE FROM NEW CLIENTS:

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. Always check original documents before accepting the
2. All Pan Cards to be verified from Income Tax/ NSDL sites before the account is opened

Business Head should be alerted, client be contacted immediately on telephone and the trading, if suspected, should be If Employee of Gill Broking Group introduces the client, exact relation of the client with such employee should be documented.
8. For scrutiny / back ground check of the Franchisee, websites such as watchoutinvestors.com should be referred. Also, Prosecution Database / List of Vanishing Companies available on www.fmc.gov.in; www.mcxindia.com; www.ncdex.com; www.nmce.com; www.icex.com; www.sebi.gov.in

DOCUMENTS TO BE OBTAINED AS PART OF CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR ALL EXISTING CLIENTS:

On an on-going basis, the branches should ensure that the details given in the KYC, by the client, match with the current details of the client. If required, we can seek additional documents/information from the client to verify the financial/general status of the client.

In cases where:

There is any material negative change in the financial details of the client from what is given in the KYC

If the client is not contactable/traceable or contracts notes/ communications sent are received back undelivered

In case the client is prohibited by any regulatory authority

The client refuses to provide additional information/document asked for There is a material change in the mandate holder profile/details

Branches should immediately bring the same to the notice of the Zonal Business Head. The Zonal Business Head will, in turn, discuss the same with the Principal Officer to decide on the necessary course of action, including reporting to FIU, New Delhi.

Customer Identification modus operandi:

 Customer identification is an essential element of KYC standards. A customer would include the person  or entity that maintains an account with the Member/intermediary or those on whose behalf an account is maintained (i.e., beneficial owners). Members should undertake the following processes for proper identification of customers:

1. Identifying the customer and verifying that customer’s identity using reliable, independent source documents;
2. Identifying the beneficial owner, and taking reasonable measures to verify the identity of the beneficial owner such that the Member is satisfied that it knows who the beneficial owner is;

• In case of high value of transactions, obtaining information on the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship

1. Conducting ongoing due diligence on the business relationship and scrutiny of transactions undertaken throughout the course of that relationship to ensure that the transactions being conducted are consistent with the Member’s knowledge of the customer, their business profile and risk profile, including, where necessary, the source of

KYC and Risk Profile of the Customers:

 We should accept the clients based on the risk they are likely to pose. The aim is to identify clients who  are likely to pose a higher than average risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. For this purpose, we need to classify the clients as Low Risk, Medium Risk and High Risk clients. By classifying the clients, we will be in a better position to apply appropriate customer due diligence process. That is, for High Risk client we have to apply higher degree of due diligence. The factors of risk perception depend on client’s location, nature of business activity, turnover, nature of transaction, manner of payments, etc.

In order to achieve this objective, all clients of the branch should be classified in the following category:

Low Risk

1. Client with clean image, not PEP
2. Listed Companies
3. Owned companies, regulated bodies like banks and PMLA regulated Intermediaries

Medium Risk

1. Client where identity and sources of wealth are not supported by public documents like income returns, registered conveyance deeds
   1. Clients with sudden spurt in volumes or investment without apparent reasons
   2. Person in business/industry or trading activity where scope or history of unlawful trading/business activity dealings is

Following descriptions shall be compulsorily categorized as a “High Risk Client”:

1. Non resident
2. High net worth

c.) Trust, Charities, NGOs and organizations receiving donations.

d). Companies having close family shareholdings or beneficial ownership. e). Politically exposed persons (PEP) of foreign origin.

f). Current / Former Head of State, Current or Former Senior High profile politicians and connected persons (immediate family, Close advisors

narcotics  production,  Countries where   corruption (as   per Transparency International Corruption Perception Index) is highly prevalent, Countries against which government sanctions are applied, Countries reputed to be any of the

following – Havens / sponsors of international terrorism, offshore financial centers, tax havens, countries where fraud is highly prevalent.

• Non face to face
• Clients with dubious reputation as per public information available

Mandate Holder Policy 

The primary objective of this policy is to ensure that we are aware as to who is the ultimate beneficiary of the transaction and that the transactions executed, through the mandate holder, are bonafide.

is possible that some of the individual clients might appoint a mandate holder.

Normally the trading account is opened in the name of various family members and one the family member will hold the mandate.

Whenever any account is operated by a mandate holder, find out the relationship of the mandate holder with the client, followed by establishing the identity of the mandate holders by obtaining proof of identity and address.

Do  not  accept  any payment from  the  account of  mandate holder  in  favour  of  the client.  All the payments have to be received from the client’s bank account only for which the PoA holder may or may not have the mandate to operate the bank account. Similarly pay-out cheques should be issued only in the name of the client and not in the name of the mandate holder.

In case there is suspicion on the relationship between the mandate holder and the actual client or in case behavior of the mandate holder is suspicious, do take necessary advice from the Zonal Business Head.
