Identity verification in India runs on a dense stack of registries, regulations and acronyms — CKYCR, V-CIP, VAHAN, EPFO, NETC, penny drop, OVD. This glossary explains each term in plain language: what it means, how the underlying check actually works, and where it fits into a customer onboarding or compliance workflow.
Entries are written for product, risk and compliance teams building verification into their own products. Where a term maps to something you can call directly, the entry links through to the relevant Veriqos verification API.
