Identity & KYC

Identity verification is the foundation of every regulated financial product in India. Before a lender can lend, a wallet can onboard, or a broker can open a demat account, they have to answer one question with certainty: is this person who they say they are?

For Indian fintech, that answer is built on the world's most advanced public identity infrastructure. Aadhaar eKYC, DigiLocker-issued documents, PAN verification, passport validation, and government-issued photo IDs combine with biometric checks — face match, liveness detection, document OCR — to form a layered identity verification stack that scales to millions of onboardings per day.

Deepvue builds the infrastructure behind that stack. We process identity verification for 60+ businesses across lending, payments, insurance, and compliance, powering the APIs that turn raw Aadhaar, PAN, and DigiLocker data into verified identity signals in under 200 milliseconds.

This hub covers the full landscape: how each verification method works, where each fits in an onboarding flow, how to combine methods for different risk tiers, and where Indian KYC is heading as synthetic identity fraud and deepfake attacks evolve. Start with the featured guides below.
