How identity verification works in India.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Indian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Aadhaar attacks on neobank and UPI-PSP onboarding, high-volume PAN and Voter-ID forgery, and the explosive growth of cross-border crypto on-ramps under the PMLA-mandated VDA Service Provider regime. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- RBI Customer Due Diligence Master Direction
- Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)
- SEBI KYC Registration Agency framework
- Aadhaar Act 2016
- Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023
- PMLA VDA Service Provider regime (crypto)

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.
Didit screens the user's name against the global pool of 1,300+ sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), and adverse-media lists, plus every Indian regulatory watchlist (Ministry of Home Affairs Banned Organisations + Unlawful Associations, Parliament of India + Council of States, every Ministry of the Government of India PEP register, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India).
Severity-scored. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks daily and fires a webhook on new hits.

Cross-check against UIDAI, ITD, ECI, RTO and Passport Seva.
Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.
- The Aadhaar check (
ind_aadhaar, ~100% coverage) hits UIDAI directly with name + DOB + Aadhaar number + PAN. - The PAN check (
ind_pan_permanent_account_number, ~100% coverage) hits the Income Tax Department database. - EPIC (
ind_epic_voter_s_registration), Driver's Licence (ind_drivers_licence), and Passport (ind_passport) round out the coverage on the Election Commission, the Road Transport Offices, and Passport Seva Kendra respectively. - Run them in parallel and Didit picks the cheap one first, only paying for the deeper check when the first one is inconclusive.
