Questions

Is the cycle still every year?
The standing rule is an annual KYC by 30 September. Treat any announcement of a multi-year cycle as effective only from the date the amending rule says so. This desk marks the cycle length as confirmed only for the annual rule.

Not yet verified against the latest textRule-sourced — Rule 12A. Cycle length beyond the annual filing should be re-checked against the latest amendment.
