As per Section 131(4) of Finance Act, 2015 all rules, directions, guidelines,\u00a0instructions, circulars, or any like instruments, made by the erstwhile FMC or\u00a0the Central Government applicable to recognized associations under the FCRA\u00a0would continue to remain in force for a period of one year from the date on\u00a0which FCRA was repealed (September 29, 2015), or till such time as notified\u00a0by SEBI, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Erstwhile FMC, from time to time, had prescribed various norms related to UCC\u00a0and Mandatory requirement of PAN. This circular is being issued to consolidate\u00a0and update such norms prescribed by erstwhile FMC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. It shall be mandatory for the members of the commodity derivatives exchanges\u00a0to use Unique Client Code (UCC) for all clients transacting on the commodity\u00a0derivatives exchanges. The commodity derivatives exchanges shall not allow\u00a0execution of trades without uploading of the UCC details by the members of the\u00a0exchange. For this purpose, members shall collect after verifying the\u00a0authenticity and maintain in their back office the copies of Permanent Account\u00a0Number (PAN) issued by the Income Tax Department, to all their clients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. PAN would be the sole identification number and mandatory for all\u00a0entities\/persons who are desirous of transacting on the commodity derivatives\u00a0exchanges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the investors residing in the State of Sikkim are exempted from the\u00a0mandatory requirement of PAN. The exchanges should, however, ensure a\u00a0system of proper verification to verify that such members \/ investors are<br \/>\nresidents of the State of Sikkim.\u00a0Further, PAN may not be insisted in the case of Central Government, State\u00a0Government, and the officials appointed by the courts e.g. Official liquidator, securities market. The intermediary shall verify the veracity of the claim of the\u00a0specified organizations, by collecting sufficient documentary evidence in\u00a0support of their claim for such an exemption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. The commodity derivatives exchanges shall ensure that the members of their\u00a0exchanges shall:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">collect copies of PAN cards issued to their existing as well as new clients\u00a0after verifying with the original.<\/li>\n<li>cross-check the aforesaid details collected from their clients with the\u00a0details on the website of the Income Tax Department.<\/li>\n<li>upload details of PAN so collected to the Exchanges as part of Unique\u00a0Client Code.<\/li>\n<li>verify the documents with respect to the unique code and retain a copy\u00a0of the document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. The Member shall also be required to furnish the above particulars of their\u00a0clients to the commodity derivatives exchanges and the same would be\u00a0updated on a monthly basis. Such information for a specific month should reach<br \/>\nthe exchange within 7 working days of the following month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. The commodity derivatives exchanges shall impose penalty on the member at\u00a0the rate of 1% of the value of every trade that has been carried out by the\u00a0member without uploading the UCC details of the clients. The penalty so<br \/>\ncollected by the Commodity Derivatives Exchanges shall be transferred to the\u00a0Investor protection Fund (IPF). Further, if the client details are not uploaded\u00a0within a month of the trade, the member is liable to be suspended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. The commodity exchanges shall be required to maintain a database of client\u00a0details submitted by members. Historical records of all such submissions shall\u00a0be maintained for a period of 7 years by the Exchanges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. The provisions of this circular shall come into immediate effect in supersession\u00a0of all earlier directives issued by erstwhile FMC with regard to matters related\u00a0to UCC and Mandatory requirement of PAN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10.This circular is issued in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 11(1)\u00a0of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act 1992, to protect the interests\u00a0of investors in securities and to promote the development of, and to regulate\u00a0the securities market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">11.The Commodity
