Purpose of this Document:

This document provides updated instructions for support agents assisting the merchant with the RE-KYC 2.0. 

The primary changes focus on streamlining KYC requirements and ensuring compliance with updated RBI regulations. Below mentioned are the stages and the definitions.

  • Owner KYC (Identity Verification): Agents must now use one of the following two paths.

    • Option 1: Use the Available Document and proceed with the verification. (PAN or Aadhaar)

    • Option 2: Aadhaar e-OTP + PAN + Video KYC.

Note:  Voter ID and Driver’s Licenses are no longer accepted.

  • Business KYC (Entity Verification)

    • Mandatory Requirement: A valid Business Proof document is now required for all Current Accounts.

  • Bank KYC (Account Validation): To ensure successful verification, the names must match exactly as follows:

    • Merchants cannot add or change Bank accounts within this journey.

  • Udyam Aadhaar Generation: As RBI now requires Business Proof for all merchants, we have introduced a solution for Savings Account holders:

    • If a merchant uses a Savings Account, we will generate an Udyam Aadhaar Certificate on their behalf to serve as their official Business Proof.

  • Rollback execute - Means, the merchant has pressed the Back button. Just inform them to proceed with the process; it is not an error.

InScope : 

The scope of this document covers the issues that Merchants may face during the Re-KYC journey via RE-KYC-2.0 procedure.

OutScope : 

Any other scenarios apart from the ones mentioned in the “InScope” section.

Need to help with the Document details


Agent Action: Share the valid document list with the Merchant and share the steps to complete the Re-KYC.



Agent Communication: 


Hello Merchant,


Thank you for reaching out to us.

This guide will help you understand which documents are required and the steps to complete your verification.


1. Required Documents & Information

Before you begin, please ensure you have the following details or physical documents ready:

  • Permanent Account Number (PAN): This is mandatory. If you provided your PAN in a previous version (V1), it will be pre-filled for your convenience.

  • Proof of Identity (POI): One of the following is required:

    • Aadhaar Card (Linked to your mobile number for e-OTP).

    • Driving License (DL).

    • Voter ID (VID).

  • Date of Birth (DOB): Must match the records on your PAN and Identity documents.


2. The KYC Process: Step-by-Step

We prioritize a "Check-and-Confirm" flow to save you time. Follow these steps to complete your verification:

Step A: KYC Record Verification 

The system will first attempt to fetch your records from the Central KYC (CKYC) registry using your PAN and DOB.

  1. Review the Records: You will see the details fetched from the registry, including your Full Name, DOB, Gender, and Father’s Name.

  2. Confirm Identity Details: You will also see masked details of your linked identity document (Aadhaar, DL, or VID) and your PAN name.

  3. Completion: If all the information displayed is correct, simply click "Confirm." Your Owner KYC is now complete!


Step B: Manual Verification (If Records are Incorrect/Unavailable)

If you do not see your records, or if the information displayed is incorrect, you can opt for manual verification:

  1. Deny/Edit: Select the option to provide details manually.

  2. PAN Entry: Enter/Verify your PAN Number and Date of Birth.

  3. Aadhaar e-OTP: Select Aadhaar for the fastest manual route. You will receive an OTP on the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar.

  4. Verification: Enter the OTP to verify your identity instantly.
