# Business Verification & KYB

Business verification, or KYB, is what you do before you lend to, onboard, or transact with a company instead of an individual. In India, that means reconciling signals from half a dozen regulatory sources — MCA filings, GST registration, Udyam certification, PAN, TAN, GSTIN — into a single, authoritative view of whether a business is real, active, and owned by who it claims to be.

The stakes are different from consumer KYC. Business identity fraud is patient and sophisticated: shell entities, backdated incorporations, fabricated GST filings, and layered ownership structures designed to hide beneficial owners. The lenders and platforms that catch this early are the ones with a real KYB infrastructure; the ones that don't show up in court later.

Deepvue's KYB stack covers the full verification surface: Udyam + MSME verification, GST number validation, corporate PAN checks, director and beneficial-owner verification, passport verification for signatories, and business address validation. Over 60 businesses rely on our KYB APIs to onboard corporate customers and underwrite commercial lending products.

This hub covers how each KYB data source works, how to layer them, and what changes as India's regulatory landscape evolves. Featured content below.
