Authorized Signatory's Documents — to verify the identity of the person authorized to operate the account on behalf of the institute (Aadhar Card, PAN Card).

Institute's Documents — to verify the legal existence and banking details of the institute itself (PAN Card, Cancelled Cheque, Registration Proof, GST Certificate/Non-Enrollment Declaration, Authorization Letter or Board Resolution, and a UBO Declaration where applicable).

All documents are stored securely and used solely for verification purposes. Once verified, your account is activated and you can start accepting payments immediately.
