Received this email today from CKYC. Airtel updated the CKYC address without my consent and all of a sudden. Have done wallet-KYC like 3-4 months back.

And they say, I have given them proof of possession of aadhar(OVD), which can only be given offline. confused

Many on Twitter also faced this, but Airtel is saying it’s a technical glitch at CKYC’s end, What a joke!!

P.S.: All this for a wallet account, I don’t have any bank account with them.

What’s wrong in that??

CKYC is your central KYC repository…any wallet/banks where you do KYC will go and update CKYC.

With my experience, no other wallet did this before! Only MFs and Bank accounts.

I might be over-reacting here but “proof of possession of Aadhar” can only be given offline and I have only done EKYC with them.
