CKYC Search API
Search the Central KYC registry using an identity document and retrieve the customer's existing CKYC record.
Overview
What the CKYC Search API does
CKYC Search queries India's Central KYC Records Registry using a supported identity document and returns the customer's CKYC details where a record exists.
A customer who has completed KYC with any regulated institution already has a CKYC record. Finding it means you can reuse verified data rather than repeating document collection, which is faster for you and considerably less irritating for them.
