Watchlist Integration (SEBI, OFAC, RBI) - Simple Flow Explanation

This document explains, in simple terms, how we can integrate a Watchlist screening
feature into our system. The goal of this integration is to check whether a person or
company is listed in any restricted or high-risk database maintained by authorities like
SEBI, OFAC, or RBI.

What is a Watchlist?
A Watchlist is like a security checklist maintained by official organizations. It contains
names of individuals or companies that are flagged due to financial, legal, or security-
related issues. Before doing business or financial transactions, companies check these lists
to ensure they are not dealing with risky or prohibited entities.

How the Integration Works (Simple Flow)


1. User Data Input: When someone registers or makes a transaction on our platform, their
details (like name, ID, or company name) are collected.
2. Send to Watchlist Service: These details are sent to a Watchlist screening service (which
already has the latest SEBI, OFAC, and RBI lists).
3. Match Check: The service checks if the name or details match any record in those lists.
4. Result Returned: The service sends back a result saying either 'No Match' (safe to
proceed) or 'Match Found' (needs further review).
5. Decision: Based on the result, we can decide whether to approve, reject, or review the
registration or transaction.

Example for Better Understanding


Imagine you are opening an account in a bank. When you submit your details, the bank
secretly runs your name through a government list to check if you are allowed to open an
account. If your name appears on a restricted list, the bank will not proceed. Our integration
will do exactly this, but automatically and instantly.
