How does a CKYC Software solution work?
A CKYC software solution is a digital tool that assists financial institutions (FIs) in efficiently retrieving their customers' KYC information through API integration. This CKYC API solution enables seamless integration with CERSAI, enabling FIs to perform tasks such as uploading, searching, downloading, and updating CKYC records. By streamlining the KYC process, it enhances the speed and efficiency of customer onboarding.
Which entities are eligible to register their customers with CKYC?
Entities operating in the financial sector and holding registrations with regulatory authorities such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) are allowed to register their customers in the CKYC platform.
How many CKYC records does the CKYC Record Registry contain?
As of March 2023, the CKYC Record Registry holds over 70 Crore CKYC records.
How much time does it take to generate 1000 records for CKYC Upload?
50 minutes
What's the maximum limit of customer records CKYC server can handle?
a) Bulk upload using portal accepts max 25 MB (maximum size of single individual record should be 350 kb, maximum size of single entity record should be 5 MB) b) Bulk SFTP over Internet - No Limit c) Bulk SFTP over leased lines - No Limit
If a financial institution has more customer records, say 1 Lakh, how will they upload data in the CKYC portal?
a) Through bulk upload - Manually b) Through bulk upload - SFTP
As soon as we upload customer records to CKYC, when will we get the response from CKYC? Is it real time?
The response will occur in three phases: a) After performing the SFTP upload, you will receive the initial response, 'response_0', in the 'SFTP response' folder. This response will be generated immediately and will solely verify the validity of the data format. b) At the Checker level, the same response will be received for authorization purposes. Once it is approved, a subsequent response called 'response_1' will be generated. c) In 'response_1', you will receive an 11-digit reference number that can be used to track the status of the upload. The final response, indicating either rejection or approval, will be generated within 24 hours.
If any customer's data gets rejected by CKYC after the upload, what steps can be taken to rectify the issue?
A response will be generated. The response will contain the reference number of the failed (rejected) records along with the reasons for the rejection.
Why might a customer record be rejected by CKYC?
Potential reasons for rejection include: a) incorrect or invalid identification information, b) missing required information, c) absence of an image file, d) document mapping inconsistencies, and e) invalid data formatting.
As a financial institution with 20,000 records (for instance), if you utilize CloudBankin's CKYC software, will your customer data be stored in CloudBankin's system?
No, according to the rules, without the permission of the financial institution (FI), the data cannot be stored. Only if the FI grants permission, requests it, or allows it, the data can be stored in an encrypted format.
Which algorithm will you use to compress the image?
java.awt.image package
For 100 records, what will be the approximate file size that is generated?
1. For 100 records of individual type, maximum size of ZIP file must be 35 MB. 2. For 100 records of entity type, maximum size of ZIP file must be 500 MB
How can you determine the number of customers for whom a financial institution has utilized the Search and Download functionalities?
To track the usage of the Search & Download functionalities, the financial institution assigns a unique reference ID to each request. By analyzing these reference IDs, along with the type of request and its status, we can accurately determine the number of hits. The system maintains a unique identifier for each hit, ensuring accurate tracking of usage.
What is the process for transferring data from your system to ours?
The data transfer process from our system to yours involves sending a request to CloudBankin, which internally connects to the CKYC registry server and then returns the data to the requester.
How should we manage the validation and compression of photo sizes, is it part of your process or ours?
The validation and compression of photo sizes are handled by the CloudBakin system.
How can we access information on the number of hits and failures in the CKYC Dashboard?
Accessing information on the number of hits and failures is available in the CKYC Dashboard, where you can view the number of hits.
