India is moving into the new century, with Aadhar & UPI. Another part of this evolution is DigiLocker - a wallet (drive) by the Government of India to store all your essential and important records digitally & securely.

You can access these documents stored, anytime, anywhere - reducing paperwork and time.

> Going forward, DigiLocker, will be the gold standard for KYC approval, reducing the time to do KYC from days to less than 5 minutes. This is thanks to the Single SignOn Service \[MeriPehchaan\].

For this reason, we want to ensure all our clients are setup on DigiLocker, making the KYC process – easier & faster.

**The most important two documents to have setup on your DigiLocker are:**

1. **Aadhar**
2. **PAN**

To complete DigiLocker's setup, you should also have on hand:

**☐ Mobile** (preferably a post paid plan, so you won't forget to recharge)  
**☐ Email**

DigiLocker & Aadhar use the OTP (One Time Password) verification system, so it is best to have the above active.

**Here are some important notes (to save headaches):**

- Make sure your **Aadhar and PAN both have the same exact name**. IT Systems are checking both, so please double check for:  
  - no spelling mistakes; and
  - no abbreviations or initials.
- Make sure your **Aadhar have both the mobile and email updated**. You can ONLY update the mobile and email at your nearest Aadhar centre, you cannot do it online. It will cost you ₹50 per update, so please get that done before starting anything.
- Remember to **add Nominee details** in your DigiLocker as well, this may be useful in the future.
- If your DigiLocker is ready, you should see a green \[verified\] label under your profile photo.
- As part of your financial house keeping, also **ensure your Passport & Bank account have the same name displayed as in your PAN & Aadhar**. Consistency across documents, will save you headaches in the future.
