A one-time identity check — do it once, invest anywhere.
What it is
KYC ("Know Your Customer") is a one-time verification of who you are, required before you can invest.
Why it matters
Without KYC you cannot buy mutual funds or stocks.
How to do it
- It is usually done inside the investing app the first time you invest — an Aadhaar-based video or OTP KYC, and it is free.
- You can check your KYC status on a KYC Registration Agency (KRA) such as CVL KRA.
Documents you need
- PAN, Aadhaar (with linked mobile), and a selfie or short video.
How long it takes
A few minutes to 1–2 days.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Name or signature not matching, which blocks purchases.
- Paying anyone to "complete your KYC" — genuine KYC is free; requests to pay are a scam.
