Know Your Customer, or KYC, is a process that banks and other financial institutions use to make sure you are who you say you are. Fraud is less likely to happen, and your transactions are safe through this process. If you have already sent in your KYC documents, it is a good idea to check KYC status on a daily basis to make sure that your verification is complete. There is no need to leave your home to check your KYC status online. It is simple and quick, and these steps will be shown in this guide on how to check your KYC status with your PAN card or other records.

 

What is KYC Status and Why Is It Important

Your KYC  (Know Your Customer) status shows if your identity and proof of address have been verified by financial institutions like banks. If you follow the rules set up to stop money laundering, you are KYC compliant. Your KYC status can be registered, under process, or rejected.

 

How to Look Up Your KYC Online

To check KYC status online, you need to do the following:

Step 1: Make sure to go and visit the website of a KYC registration entity as the first step.

KYC information is kept up to date in India by KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) that are listed with SEBI. These include CDSL Ventures, CAMS, Karvy, and NDML. Go to the website of one of these KRAs to see if you have passed the KYC process. A well-known choice is the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) site.

Step 2: Click on "KYC Inquiry or Status Check."

Find a link or tab on the site you picked that says "KYC Inquiry," "Check KYC Status," or something similar like this. In this area, you can enter your information to get your KYC record.

Step 3: Enter Your Details

You can check your KYC status by entering either:

• Your PAN card number (preferred for accuracy and speed), or
• Your whole name, date of birth, and category (this is less popular and takes longer).

After you're done with the form, enter the captcha code that shows up on the screen and in the end, click "Submit" or "Check Status."

 

Step 4: See the status of your KYC

The screen will show your current state with KYC. Statuses that could be shown are:

• If KYC is Registered or Verified: Your Know Your Customer (KYC) process is now complete, so you can use a lot of different financial services without any issues.
• If KYC is Under Process: The papers you sent are being looked over, so you may have to wait a few days.
• If KYC is On Hold or Rejected: Keep in mind that if your papers get held up or rejected, you may need to fix them or send them again.

You will need to go through the KYC process with a KRA or your bank if your KYC status is not already registered.
