What do I do if there is a signature mismatch?

If your signature on submitted documents does not match, FYERS requires an additional declaration to verify and authorize the discrepancy. This helps maintain the integrity of your KYC records and avoid delays in account opening.

Why signature matching is important

As part of the KYC compliance process, the signature on your application must match across all documents, especially:

  • PAN card
  • Bank proof
  • Scanned signature submission

A mismatch could raise concerns over identity verification and will require further clarification.

How to resolve a signature mismatch

If your signatures differ on submitted documents:

  • Submit a signed declaration stating both signatures belong to you and are valid
  • This declaration confirms that you authorize FYERS to accept both versions of your signature

FYERS onboarding executives can guide you through the format and submission process for the declaration.

How to avoid this issue

To completely avoid signature mismatches, you can:

  • Open your FYERS account online using Aadhaar-based eSign via OTP
  • This method doesn't require physical signatures and is fully compliant with KYC norms
