Risk & KYC

Configuring documents

Updated 27 May 20263 min read

The Document Checklist is the list of IDs and certificates customers must upload during KYC. It's the first thing they see on the portal — so what you put here matters.

Open Settings → Risk & KYC → Document Checklist. You'll see two tabs: Individual and Business. You set up the lists separately, because the documents you need from an individual are different from what you need from a registered company.

Adding a document

Click + Add Document. For each one, fill in:

  • Document Name — what shows on the form (e.g. “PAN Card”, “GST Certificate”).
  • Help text — a short instruction shown under the name (e.g. “Upload a clear photo or scan of your PAN card”). Optional but recommended.
  • Applies To — Individual, Business, or Both. A document marked Both appears on each tab.
  • Required — tick if the customer cannot submit without this document. Untick for nice-to-haves.

Suggested list for individual customers (India)

  • PAN Card — required
  • Aadhaar Card — required
  • Address Proof (recent utility bill or bank statement) — required
  • Photo with ID (selfie holding the PAN or Aadhaar) — optional

Suggested list for business customers (India)

  • GST Certificate — required
  • Company PAN Card — required
  • Certificate of Incorporation — required
  • Authorised Signatory ID — required
  • Authorisation Letter on company letterhead — required
  • Office Address Proof — required
  • Bank Account Proof (cancelled cheque) — optional

Reordering and editing

Use the ↑ ↓ arrows on the left of each row to reorder — the order shown to the customer matches this list. Put the most important documents at the top.

Click the pencil icon to edit a document, or the X to remove one. Editing the Document Name or Help text doesn't affect any KYC that's already been submitted — those keep the version of the text the customer originally saw.

Keep the list short. Three required documents beats six “nice to have” ones. Every extra document is friction for the customer.

Next step

Once your document list is in place, head to Configuring questions to add a few questions that capture context about each rental.
