What is Digital Know-Your-Customer (KYC)?
For non-KYC compliant persons wishing to complete the KYC procedure in order to access financial services, Digital KYC is simply an online KYC process. Filling out an online KYC form or conducting the Video-based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP), both of which are approved by the RBI and SEBI, are two ways to be KYC compliant.
