Airtel replaces Aadhaar-based electronic verification with digital KYC process

Airtel’s digital KYC process has begun with select circles including Delhi, UP and UP. Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Monday began rolling out, in select circles, an ‘alternate digital KYC process’ for new connections, to replace Aadhaar-based electronic verification, a company official said. The alternate digital KYC process has begun with select circles including Delhi, UP and UP and will be extended to other locations in the coming days, the official privy to the development told PTI. The alternate digital process for KYC entails scanning of the proof of address and identity, embedding live customer photo and online customer acquisition form, the source said adding that the entire process will be digital. When contacted, a Vodafone Idea Ltd spokesperson confirmed that a new digital KYC process has been launched for onboarding customers across Vodafone and Idea brands but did not immediately offer specific details.
