You must submit at least one of the following government-issued photo identification documents:

  • Aadhaar card
  • Passport
  • Voter ID

  • PAN card with photograph
  • An official photo ID issued by:
    • Central or State Government departments
    • Regulatory Authorities or PSUs
    • Scheduled Commercial Banks
    • Recognised Educational Institutions
    • Professional Bodies such as ICAI, ICWAI, ICSI, Bar Council

List of accepted address proof documents (POA)

You can submit any one of the following documents for residential address verification:

  • Aadhaar card
