On October 11, 2017, RBI added new guidelines for digital wallet users which included to undergo KYC in order to avail uninterrupted services. The deadline for the above-mentioned rule was 28th Feb, 2018. As of now, there are a lot of users who haven’t got their KYC done and there are some who are not willing to do so. For such users, sending money to other users or transferring to their or any bank account would not be allowed, as per the RBI guidelines. The rest remains the same.
To make the process easy for you, below are the list of Facts and Myths about KYC update.
- KYC update is mandatory for all the users: Fact
As per the RBI guidelines, it is compulsory to link your Aadhar number to your wallet. We recommend to get your KYC done, however, not doing so will not impact the most of the services that you can avail on MobiKwik.
For non-KYC users, the only changes are:
- Users who have submitted their KYC details, but have not verified them (minimum KYC) can add money up to Rs. 10,000. Users who have not shared any details cannot add money to their wallet.
- You won’t be able to do P2P transactions (send money to your friends)
- You won’t be able to transfer money to any bank account
-
You won’t be able to use your mobile wallet: Myth
