Who is an ultimate beneficiary owner (UBO)?
UBO is an individual who holds 10% or more of the shareholding, capital, or profits in a company. They own or control a company or legal entity, even if the ownership is indirect. SEBI mandates UBO identification as part of the KYC process, and these individuals must submit the UBO Annexure.
Below is a table showing the documents required for UBO submission:
