    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this pack work for ONDC seller onboarding?+

    Yes. The Merchant Onboarding Pack is pre-validated for ONDC seller KYB requirements including GST validation, PAN verification, and bank account confirmation.

    Can I onboard unregistered merchants without GST?+

    Yes. For sole proprietors without GST, the pack falls back to PAN + Aadhaar verification for identity and the bank verification for payment activation.

    How fast is the penny-drop bank verification?+

    Real-time, typically under 3 seconds. The API returns account holder name and active status in the same call.

    Is there directory lookup for business type?+

    GST verification returns business type (proprietor, partnership, LLP, etc.), registration date, and address — no separate MCA lookup needed for most cases.
