PUTVerify OTP (eKYC)

Verify the eKYC OTP sent to the agent's Aadhaar-linked mobile number to advance the one-time AePS Fingpay eKYC.

PUT/user/collection/aeps-fingpay/kyc/otp/verify

The second step of the one-time AePS Fingpay eKYC flow (Send OTP → Verify OTP → Biometric). Submits the OTP the agent received, together with the otp_ref_id and reference_tid returned by the Send OTP API, to validate the agent's identity before biometric capture. Aadhaar must be RSA-encrypted and Base64-encoded.

Tip

This endpoint is one step in a complete workflow:

AePS (Fingpay) — Cash Withdrawal — Aadhaar-enabled cash withdrawal: one-time agent activation and eKYC, daily KYC, then the biometric withdrawal.
