KYC Verification Policy

Identity verification requirements for Gletra sellers, home service providers, wallet withdrawals, and high-value transactions on the marketplace platform.

Updated June 19, 2026 4 min read Official Gletra Policy

Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is a cornerstone of Gletra's compliance program, ensuring platform integrity, preventing fraud, and meeting regulatory obligations under applicable Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, prepaid payment instrument guidelines, and marketplace operator requirements in India.

This KYC Verification Policy defines who must complete verification, required documentation, verification procedures, data handling practices, and consequences of non-compliance. KYC applies to marketplace sellers, home service providers (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, cleaners, appliance repair technicians), users requesting wallet withdrawals, and accounts flagged by our risk systems.

Gletra uses a combination of automated document verification, government database checks (where available), and manual review by authorized compliance personnel. All KYC data is encrypted, access-controlled, and retained per regulatory requirements detailed in our Data Protection Policy.

Completion of KYC does not guarantee account approval or unlimited transaction access. Gletra reserves the right to request re-verification, enhanced due diligence, or additional documentation at any time based on risk assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Automated verification typically completes within 1–4 hours. Manual review cases are resolved within 5 business days. Ensure documents are clear and match your registered name to avoid delays.

Sellers below GST threshold may register without GST, subject to turnover limits under Indian law. Gletra may require GST registration as your sales volume grows.

Gletra uses Aadhaar verification through authorized UIDAI-compliant methods. Full Aadhaar numbers are masked in our systems. We do not store Aadhaar biometric data.

Common reasons: blurry documents, name mismatch, expired ID, failed liveness check, or background check failure. Check the rejection email for specific reason and re-submit via KYC portal.

Standard shopping does not require KYC. KYC is required for wallet withdrawals, wallet balances exceeding ₹50,000, and when flagged by fraud systems.

Providers for in-home services (electricians, plumbers, cleaners, etc.) undergo identity verification and criminal background screening before activation. Gletra re-runs checks annually.
