The Power of Automated KYC Verification: How Arya APIs CKYC API is Making a Difference

Prathiksha Shetty -

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a crucial process in the insurance and financial industry, allowing institutions to verify their customers' identities.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has issued a new regulation mandating the use of Central KYC Registry (CKYC) for General Insurers. The circular states that all General Insurers are required to obtain and maintain CKYC compliant records of their customers. This is a significant and welcome step towards improving financial transparency and compliance.

As regulatory compliance requirements continue to evolve, KYC has become an essential part of the institutions' operations. However, it can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring them to collect and verify data for multitudes of customers.

To address this challenge, Arya APIs developed our CKYC module that simplifies and streamlines the KYC process for our customers. Our CKYC API automates the verification process, eases the complete process of interaction with the central KYC repository for document retrieval using any ID information; for both individuals and legal entities.

Few people know the idea of CKYC number, which is a unique 14 digit number generated by CERSAI for each KYC record maintained in their repository. With the use of this repository, any institution can complete their customer’s KYC without having to ask them to provide the necessary documents.  

Some of the important features of the Arya API’s CKYC Module:

  • Automatic tagging of documents received from repository
  • Combined with Aadhaar Masking
