    Solution

    RBI guidelines strictly prohibit using introductions from existing customers as a means of verifying new customers. This is to ensure that financial institutions independently verify the identity of their customers, avoiding the risks associated with fraudulent activities. The other options are requirements as part of the Customer Identification Procedure (CIP) , ensuring thorough customer verification and documentation.
