Unless you want your bank to shut down or close your account, you NEED to submit your Know Your Customer -KYC documents. Here is a brief introduction to what KYC is and why you need to update these documents with your bank.
What is KYC:
Know Your Customer (KYC) is a mandatory RBI process that was incorporated by the banks to prevent any kind of financial fraud. This helps banks get to know their customers better and help manage risks and protect them from financial crimes like money laundering, identity theft and terrorist financing. It also helps the bank understand their customers better and manage their risks more efficiently.
What are KYC Documents:
KYC documents are used to verify an individual or company’s financial authenticity. If you are an individual, you would need to submit:
- An ID proof
- An Address proof
Your respective bank has a list of documents for each of the above. You can submit any one of the following documents for ID proof:
- PAN Card
- Voter’s ID
- Aadhaar Card or Aadhaar Letter (Read all about updating your Aadhar here)
- Driving License
- Ration Card
- Other ID cards that are accepted by your bank
For Address proof:
- Utility bills like electricity/LPG bill
- Bank Statement
- Ration Card
- Employer letter (if accepted by the bank)
If you are a Merchant:
You would need to submit documents as per the type of company you are a part of. You would also need to submit your individual KYC documents. You can also take a look at the list of KYC documents according to the nature of your company.

You can also see how much a transaction will cost you with the Instamojo fee calculator. If you do have very large payment volumes per month, you can reach out to Instamojo to see if there can be a customized pricing option for your volume and needs.
Will there be no sales if the transaction limit is exceeded . I have submitted the documents. But what about the sales within this period till I get upgraded, would I be able to make any sales or not above 10000 limit
What if the transaction exceeds the limit while documents are being verified for KYC?

Hey Sarah,
1. Yes. you will need to submit documents for individuals to your bank. You can just walk in to your bank and they’ll help you out. Axis Bank has e-KYC, which means you can update your KYC online but it’s a slighly more technical process.
2. While signing up and updating your KYC, make sure your PAN number and Name and account number of the bank statement are all valid. We just want to make sure your money is safe and no one is trying to make money at your expense. Our support/compliance team will get in touch with you for everything else.
Have more questions? Please feel free to drop an email to support@instamojo.com.
Hope this helped!
