Central KYC Registry

Central KYC Registry: Everything You Need to Know

A single KYC record for all your financial needs

Why CKYC Matters for Future Loans

The Central KYC Registry (CKYCR) is a Government of India initiative that safely stores your KYC details in one place. Once your KYC is registered, you receive a 14-digit CKYC number (your CKYC ID), which can be used across any bank and financial institution (including Varthana) without submitting your documents again.

Completing your CKYC makes your loan application and verification process simpler, faster, and hassle-free. Whether you apply for a School Loan, renew an existing one, or use services from other financial institutions, CKYC ensures that your identity verification is smooth at every step.
