- Once the Aadhar is verified, it asks for more details like names of the parents, permanent and correspondence addresses, profession, marital status, etc.
- Next, the video verification will begin where the Paytm executive may ask some details about you like D.O.B., current residence, and the like
- You should be ready with your PAN card for video verification where you need to face the camera holding your PAN card. The front of the PAN card must face the camera

In case you face any difficulty in completing the Video KYC process, you can visit the nearest KYC centre to get verified. Paytm offers a list of KYC centres based on your location, which can be found under the ‘Visit a Nearby KYC Store’ section.

Adding money to your Paytm Wallet requires you to complete the KYC process. If you prefer the comfort of your home, you can also request for KYC verification, but this service is chargeable at Rs. 150 and available only in selected cities.
It is essential to note that without completing KYC, Paytm users cannot add money to their Paytm Wallets. By completing full KYC, users can raise their monthly transaction limit to INR 1 Lakh and access other services.
