Workflows  ·  Vet a vendor

Vet an Indian vendor before the first PO ships.

PAN, GST, CIN, MCA, Udyam, bank ownership, court record + FIR signals — chained into one due-diligence call. Built for procurement, finance, and supplier-onboarding teams.

One workflow, every Indian vendor — SME suppliers, B2B partners, contract manufacturers, service providers

One Workflow, Every Vendor Due Diligence Need

Whether you're vetting an SME supplier, a B2B partner, a contract manufacturer, or a services vendor — the due-diligence chain is the same shape. Deepvue gives you that chain as a single API call, configurable per category.

Three reasons teams collapse vendor due diligence into one call.

Vendor vetting breaks across three predictable axes — speed, depth of signal, and audit. Deepvue's due-diligence chain is built around all three, with per-category configuration baked in.

Approve a vendor in one cycle 01 · Speed

Procurement waits days for verification turnaround. Sub-20-second parallel KYB chains collapse that into a single approval cycle.

Parallel PAN + GST + CIN + MCA in one call
Bank ownership match before first PO
Webhook decisioning back to procurement system
Catch shell vendors and risk before contract 02 · Depth of signal

Inactive GSTINs, dissolved entities, directors with court history, sanctions hits — each leaves a signature in a registry your KYB stack should be querying.

Director-level court record + FIR signals
GSTIN status (active / cancelled / suspended)
Sanctions, PEP, adverse-media on directors
Per-vendor immutable trail 03 · Audit

When finance asks "did we verify this vendor's GST" or audit asks "show the due-diligence on this PO," you have a timestamped trail per vendor — not a buried email thread.

Encrypted, immutable per-vendor decision log
Re-verification history with timestamps
Source-of-data + decision rationale captured

Most procurement teams stitch together 3-5 separate vendors for PAN, GST, MCA, court records, and bank verification. Deepvue collapses that into one due-diligence chain. One contract, one SLA, one audit trail.

Why hand-stitched vendor due diligence breaks down at scale.

If procurement is waiting days for verification turnarounds — or finance keeps discovering inactive GSTINs after the PO — here's where the breakage usually starts.

Manual + multi-vendor KYB
Sequential PAN → GST → CIN calls, days of latency
GST status checked once, never refreshed
No director-level court / FIR signal
Audit trail across four systems, hard to reconstruct
Deepvue due-diligence chain
Parallel PAN + GST + CIN + court, single response
Periodic GSTIN status re-verification on schedule
Director-level court record + FIR signals included

How the due-diligence chain runs.

From a vendor submitting their PAN to a procurement-approved decision — a typical due-diligence cycle.

01
Vendor submits identifiers
Your procurement form captures PAN, GSTIN, CIN, bank, optional Udyam. One submit triggers the chain.
02
KYB primitives fire in parallel
PAN validate, GSTIN active-status, CIN/Udyam lookup — all concurrent against source registries.
03
Court + bank checks chain
Director-level court / FIR signals, bank ownership match, sanctions + PEP screening on directors. Risk tier configurable per category.
04
Decision returned, audit logged
APPROVE / REVIEW / REJECT with full check history. DPDP-aligned audit trail. Vendor goes live or moves to manual review.

End-to-end median: under 20 seconds. Compare against your current vendor verification flow side-by-side in a 15-min walkthrough.

Compliance map for vendor due diligence.

The frameworks procurement and finance teams get challenged on when vetting Indian vendors — and which Deepvue capabilities map to each.

DPDP
DPDP Act, 2023
Digital Personal Data Protection. Consent, purpose limitation, data-fiduciary duties for all onboarded customers.
RBI
RBI Master Direction on KYC
Defines acceptable KYC flows for Indian users. Aadhaar e-KYC, OVDs, video-KYC, periodic refresh.
AML
GST + Input Credit Risk
Buyers face input-credit risk if a vendor's GSTIN goes inactive. Periodic re-verification mitigates this.
FATF
PMLA + Sanctions Screening
For regulated buyers, vendor due diligence falls under the broader PMLA / sanctions framework — director-level screening required.
CONSUMER
Companies Act + MCA filings
Vendor entity status, director list, paid-up capital, charge filings — sourced from MCA.
IT ACT
IT Act, 2000 (Sec 43A + 79)
Reasonable security practices + intermediary safe harbour. Documented onboarding strengthens both.
SCREENING
UN, OFAC, EU sanctions
Sanctions list screening at onboarding and monitored throughout the customer lifecycle.
SCREENING
PEP & Adverse Media
Politically Exposed Persons screening per FATF R12. Adverse media flags reputational risk.
This map is informational, not legal advice. Your specific licensing posture (NBFC, Bank, marketplace, gig aggregator) layers on top — Deepvue's audit trail is built to support all of them.

Where vendor vetting breaks down — and where Deepvue plugs the holes.

From "PAN submitted" to "PO approved" — vendor vetting usually breaks in one of these five places.

Deepvue is not a regulator and does not represent itself as RBI, SEBI, UIDAI, MCA, or any government authority. Buyers retain full responsibility for their procurement decisions and contractual posture. Deepvue provides the verification infrastructure and structured audit trail; the procurement decisioning is yours.

Applicable regulations

All API interactions are protected using encryption, role-based access controls, and audit logging.

Volume pricing per vendor decision.

KYB bundles tier with monthly vendor volume. Pay per chained decision, not per individual API call. INR-first invoicing.

Pricing scales with
monthly vendor decisionsprimitives per decision (3, 5, 7+)court records + sanctions tiereddedicated SLA & support tierINR-first, USD on request

Most procurement teams running 1k-100k vendor decisions per month land in a per-decision range that comfortably preserves unit economics — no per-source surcharges.

Common questions from compliance and product leads.

Real questions, asked in evaluation calls. If yours isn't here, book a 15-min walkthrough — we'll answer it live.

We already have a KYB vendor and pull court records separately. Why consolidate?
Three reasons compound: latency (parallel chain in one call vs. sequential), cost (one contract, no per-source markups), and audit (single trail vs. multiple). Most teams route a vendor cohort through Deepvue first and compare side-by-side for two weeks before consolidating.
Can we configure the chain per vendor category?
Yes. Run a thin chain (PAN + GST + Udyam) for SME suppliers and a heavier one (full KYB + court records + sectoral licence) for high-risk categories. Thresholds and primitive selection are configurable per vendor category.
Do you re-verify vendors periodically, or only at signup?
Both. Onboarding-time chain runs at vendor registration; recurring re-verification can be configured (default: GSTIN status weekly, director-change monthly, court records on flagged cohorts). Re-verification events post back via webhooks.
Where is vendor data stored?
Indian servers by default. Storage arrangements are negotiated per MSA, with defaults aligned to DPDP and applicable sector regulations.
Does the audit trail support GST input-credit defence?
Yes — per-vendor GSTIN-status history with timestamps shows when status changed and what action was taken. Useful when defending input-credit claims under audit.
How long does integration take?
Sandbox in a day. Production / ERP-wired inside 1-2 weeks for most procurement teams. The longest part is usually your ERP integration, not our API.

How does Deepvue's "Vet a vendor" workflow compare to stitching KYB + court-records vendors?

Deepvue's vendor-vetting workflow chains PAN + GST + CIN + MCA + Udyam validation, bank ownership match, director-level court record + FIR signals, sanctions + PEP screening, and a DPDP-aligned per-vendor audit trail into a single API decision call. Most procurement teams replace 3-5 separate vendors (KYB, court records, bank verification, sanctions screening) with this one chain — sub-20-second median, parallel calls instead of sequential, single audit trail. Configurable per vendor category, with periodic GSTIN status and director-change re-verification baked in.
