NBFC KYC Video VCIP Compliance India — Digital Identity 2026

NBFC KYC Video VCIP Compliance India — Digital Identity 2026

RBI's KYC Master Directions require NBFCs conducting digital customer onboarding to implement Video-based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP). Video KYC enables a fully paperless, physically non-present KYC — the customer verifies their identity over a live video session without visiting a branch. This is a game-changer for NBFCs serving borrowers across geographies.

#

What V-CIP Requires (RBI Master Directions)

Session Requirements
- Live video session between the customer and a trained bank/NBFC official
- Official must be in India during the session
- Session recorded and stored for 5 years
- Location data captured (customer must be physically in India)

Identity Verification
- OVD (Officially Valid Document): Aadhaar, Passport, Driving Licence, Voter ID
- Aadhaar number: last 4 digits captured (full number not collected per UIDAI guidelines)
- PAN verification: physical PAN shown to camera, number verified against ITD API
- Facial biometric match: live face matched against OVD photo
- Liveness detection: proof that a real person is present (not a photo or video)
- Randomised question to verify customer identity is real and voluntary

Technical Requirements
- End-to-end encrypted video session
- Minimum video quality: 480p
- Audio-video sync maintained throughout
- Session timestamp and geolocation recorded

Audit Requirements
- Complete session video stored: accessible to RBI auditors

MICS V-CIP Integration

MICS integrates with RBI-approved V-CIP service providers and embeds the workflow within the NBFC's loan origination system:

Pre-Session (Automated)
- Aadhaar OTP eKYC: customer shares name, address, DOB from UIDAI without revealing Aadhaar number
- PAN verification: name match between Aadhaar data and ITD records
- CIBIL soft check: bureau pre-screening before committing officer time to V-CIP
- Appointment scheduling: slot booking for video session

V-CIP Session (Live)
- Customer joins via secure video link (browser or app, no app download required)
- NBFC officer verifies customer identity against OVD shown on camera
- Aadhaar last 4 digits confirmed
- PAN shown and photographed
- Liveness check: blink, turn head — AI plus officer confirmation
- Location captured: customer must be in India
- Random question: confirm voluntary and aware participation
- Officer takes decision: approved / rejected / refer for further check

Post-Session (Automated)
- Session video encrypted and stored
- KYC data extracted from session: name, DOB, address, PAN, photo
- Facial match score logged
- KYC record linked to loan application
- Applicant notified: V-CIP complete, loan processing continues

#

Aadhaar eKYC (Without V-CIP)

For lower-risk products, MICS also supports Aadhaar OTP eKYC:
- Customer enters Aadhaar number and receives OTP on registered mobile
- UIDAI API returns: name, DOB, gender, address, photo
- No V-CIP session required for this method
- Limitation: Aadhaar eKYC is treated as limited KYC — not suitable for all NBFC products

#

Business Loan KYC

For business loan applicants, MICS extends the KYC framework:
- Director/proprietor personal KYC: V-CIP or Aadhaar eKYC
- Business verification: GST portal (GSTIN status, filing history), MCA (company registration, director list), UDYAM (MSME registration)
- Bank account verification: penny drop — Rs. 1 credit to verify account and name match
