FACSIMILE / SCANNED SIGNATURE
FACSIMILE / SCANNED SIGNATURE
This is in reference to NSE Circular No. NSE/INSP/32524 dated June 6, 2016, and BSE Circular No. 20160607-04 dated June 07, 2016, regarding policy implementation in relation to the “use of facsimile/scanned signatures” on Contract Notes.
Accordingly, AUM Securities Pvt. Ltd. has framed the following policy:
Facsimile Signature: A scanned signature of an authorized person used on physical documents instead of the actual handwritten signature, while maintaining the validity of the document.
Authorised Person: Means the Compliance Officer, Directors, or any other official authorized by the Board.
We, AUM Securities Pvt. Ltd., send Electronic Contract Notes to our clients. As no physical contract notes are sent, adopting or maintaining a facsimile signature policy is not applicable to us. We continuously strive to support green initiatives by issuing electronic contract notes.
In the future, if we receive a request from any client for physical contract notes, manual signatures of the authorized signatory will be provided.
