UAPA Sanctions Update: 4 Amendments to UNSC Taliban Sanctions List
Summary
RBI has communicated amendments to 4 entries on the UN Security Council's 1988 (2011) Taliban Sanctions List pursuant to Section 51A of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The amendments include updates to entries TAi.002 (Mohammad Hassan Akhund) and TAi.024 (Abdul Ghani Baradar), with changes to designations, biographical data, and tribal affiliations. Regulated entities must ensure no accounts are held for individuals or entities appearing on the UNSC-sanctioned lists.
What changed
The RBI has transmitted amendments enacted by the UN Security Council Committee pursuant to Resolution 1988 (2011) to 4 entries on the Taliban Sanctions List. Changes include updates to designations, dates of birth, place of birth, passport information, tribal affiliations (e.g., TAi.002 correction from Kakar to Baabar tribe), and nationality details. The amendments were adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and are reflected with strikethrough and underline formatting in the source documentation.
Regulated entities including banks, NBFCs, asset reconstruction companies, and all India financial institutions must ensure their sanctions screening processes incorporate these amendments immediately. Non-compliance with Section 51A UAPA obligations may result in regulatory enforcement action under Indian law. Institutions should verify that their screening systems capture the updated biographical data, new passport details (e.g., TAi.002 passport P04581926 issued August 2024), and corrected information to avoid processing transactions for sanctioned individuals.
What to do next
- Screen all customers and counterparties against the updated UNSC 1988 Taliban Sanctions List
- Ensure no accounts are maintained for individuals or entities appearing on the UNSC sanctions list
- Update KYC/sanctions screening systems with the amended entries
