AU Small Finance Bank asks for "documentary evidence for the purpose of investment" when I remit money abroad to invest through Interactive Brokers (IBKR). What documents are accepted? And what if my IBKR account isn't open yet, because IBKR wants an initial deposit before it finishes opening the account?

IBKR Account confirmation letter (in case of Direct IBKR/Paasa), Customer account agreement in the case of Vested
Or
Screenshot showing the whole account information (SWIFT code, beneficiary details, etc) from IBKR/Vested web login.

ok, so it's a chicken-and-egg problem.
Until the account is opened, you won't get an account confirmation letter.

Try uploading a screenshot of the IBKR account details; this may work.

Otherwise, you have to use another bank for the first transaction (like IDFC), which does not ask for such things.
