Business KYC Documents

Every business needs to complete KYC before it can start using haeywa. The documents required depend on how your business is registered, so we've listed them below by entity type — treat this as a checklist of what to have ready, not a formal requirements notice.

The authorised signatory's PAN and address proof must belong to the same person. Mismatches here are the most common cause of KYC delays.
