What is In-Person Verification (IPV), and why is it required?

In-Person Verification (IPV) is the process of verifying that the person opening the account and the documents submitted are of the same person. As per regulations, brokers can perform this verification through video.

• Enable your camera and show the OTP while ensuring you are clearly visible

Important guidelines for IPV

You must ensure that only you (the account holder) are present during the IPV. Your IPV will be rejected if anyone else is present.

Special cases

• Minor accounts: Both the guardian and the minor must be present during the IPV.
• Joint accounts: Each account holder must use the mobile number mentioned in the KYC forms to complete their own IPV.
