Completing KYC (PAN and date of birth)
Reviewed by Yash Mahesh Jaiswal, SEBI Research Analyst · Last reviewed: 5 October 2026
Why KYC
SEBI requires a Research Analyst to complete KYC for every paid client. At Markov you complete it after payment, from the KYC screen in the app.
What you'll need
- Your PAN — the number only. No photo or scan.
- Your date of birth as it appears on your PAN.
- Your registered mobile — the number you sign in with, to receive the consent OTP.
The flow, step by step
- Verify instantly. Enter your PAN and date of birth. We check them against your existing KYC record with the KYC registration agencies (KRAs). No documents and no photos.
- If we can't verify instantly. Enter your name exactly as it appears on your PAN card to continue.
- Confirm the MITC and client agreement. Read SEBI's Most Important Terms and Conditions and the client agreement, then confirm with the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
If verification fails
- KYC still processing or on hold with the KRA (often PAN–Aadhaar linking): clear it with the KRA, then try again.
- PAN deactivated or invalid: check the PAN and date of birth. If it still fails, email support@markov.in. Never send your complete PAN or any OTP by email.
After KYC is complete
Your paid plan stays active and you keep receiving its signal feed.
