KYC Journey Now Faster If Your Aadhaar is Linked to PAN and Mobile Number

Opening your Angel One account for the first time is a major step in life, especially if you are a beginner in the stock market. While filling out the forms, you will probably be excited about the learnings, the profits and the hours of research that you will experience in the following days. In order to get you to that experience faster, we have reduced the time it takes to finish your KYC registration during the Angel One account opening process.

What is New?

Uploading the PAN card photo during the Angel One KYC registration was a bit of a hiccup for many users as the PAN card was not something that everyone had handy. To solve this issue, we now pull your Aadhaar and PAN data automatically from your account with Digilocker ( a government initiative towards paperless governance). As a result, there are no more uploads required in the entire KYC journey!

How Does It Work?

With this latest release, you just need to enter your PAN number and your father’s name, followed by your consent, via an OTP. Digilocker will then collect your Aadhar and PAN details and provide their images securely to Angel One. This process, however, works only for those users who have linked their Aadhar card to their phone numbers and also their Aadhar card to their PAN. The rest of the users will have to manually upload their PAN and Aadhaar documents.You can use the following table to identify which category of user you fall under in this context and thus what your KYC journey will be like:

Let us now look at the exact steps to take in case your Aadhaar is linked to both PAN and your mobile number:
