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

  1. 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.
  2. If we can't verify instantly. Enter your name exactly as it appears on your PAN card to continue.
  3. 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.
