“Based on the POC results, further directions for any change in the process, if any, will be issued on the subject,” the notification said.
As per the alternate digital KYC process proposed by the telecom industry, the Customer Appliation Form (CAF) is to be embedded with live photograph of subscriber along with the original proof of indentity (POI) and proof of address (POA) document thereby digitizing the end-to-end process, it said.
According to the department, the entire process shall only be used through the authenticated applications hosted by the licensees.

The DoT had asked the telecom operators to be ready with the alternate KYC process by November 5, in line with the Supreme Court’s verdict on September 26, in which the apex court disallowed private entities from possessing the Aadhaar details of their customers.
