Who needs client consent records?Every SEBI-registered research analyst and investment adviser must be able to show that each client agreed to the terms of the service before it started. That matters most during inspections, audits and client disputes, when "we emailed them the PDF" is not enough. What SEBI expectsResearch analysts must share the Most Important Terms and Conditions (MITC) with clients and keep evidence of acceptance, and both research analysts and investment advisers must keep client agreements on record. The details change through circulars, so check the current SEBI requirements. How consent works in FinuroMITC you controlWrite your MITC as text or upload it as a PDF, preview it before publishing and reset it to the default whenever you need to. Consent inside the onboarding sequenceFor each subscription, course or booking you set the order of onboarding steps: KYC, MITC, risk assessment and payment. Putting MITC and e-sign before payment means no client gets access without consent on record. E-sign with proofClients sign with Aadhaar e-sign through Digio or Cashfree, or with an email OTP. The signed document is stored on the client record, and its status is visible in the CRM. When terms changeAllow clients to re-do completed steps so they sign the updated terms, and keep both versions on record. Manual consentWhen consent was collected another way, generate a manual consent PDF and keep it with the client.
