India's financial ecosystem has undergone a digital revolution. Video KYC (Know Your Customer), introduced by RBI, is now the gold standard for customer onboarding in 2026. Gone are the days of submitting physical documents at a bank branch.

What Is Video KYC?

Video KYC is a real-time, AI-assisted video call process where a bank or NBFC representative verifies your identity using your Aadhaar, PAN, and a live video session. RBI's circular on V-CIP (Video-based Customer Identification Process) mandates specific norms ensuring the security and authenticity of the process.

Step-by-Step Video KYC Process in 2026

Step 1: Schedule a video call through the lender's app.

Step 2: Keep your Aadhaar card and PAN ready.

Step 3: Join the secure video call with the KYC officer.

Step 4: Show your documents to the camera; the AI captures and verifies in real time.

Step 5: Receive instant KYC approval — loan processing begins immediately.

Key RBI Guidelines for Video KYC in 2026

The verification officer must be a trained employee. The call must be recorded and stored securely for audit purposes. Geo-tagging and liveness detection are mandatory to prevent fraud.
