Identity verification and legal integration
Onboarding a tenant means proving who they are and getting an agreement signed — usually the slowest, most manual step. We automate it end to end while keeping the audit trail regulators expect.
Identity verification and KYC
Aadhaar KYC verifies a tenant using their Aadhaar number and OTP authentication, pulling name, address, date of birth and photograph directly from the UIDAI database into the tenant profile. This eliminates manual data entry and removes the need for physical Aadhaar card photocopies. DigiLocker integration lets tenants share digitally signed government documents — Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence — straight from their account through a secure API with the tenant's consent, so every document carries a digital signature from the issuing authority and there is no manual data entry or scanning.
Digital lease signing
Aadhaar eSign is recognised as a valid form of electronic signature under the Information Technology Act, 2000. When a tenant signs a Leave and Licence Agreement via Aadhaar eSign after OTP authentication, the document carries a digital certificate, a timestamp and a unique transaction identifier — making it tamper-proof, legally enforceable, and carrying the same legal standing as a physically signed document. The digital audit trail actually makes it easier to defend in the event of a dispute.
Video KYC
For tenants booking a space from another city who cannot be physically present, a guided, recorded Video KYC session captures the tenant showing their face and identity document on a live call. The system stores screenshots of the tenant and document, records the full video with timestamp and geolocation metadata, and in AI-enabled setups performs a real-time face match between the live video and the photograph on the identity document — providing auditable proof that verification took place.
Multi-property operations
The platform is built for multi-property operations. When you add a new property, it automatically inherits the same verification workflows, lease templates and compliance rules your other properties use. Tenants at every property undergo the same Aadhaar KYC, DigiLocker document verification, eSign lease execution and Video KYC processes. Property managers and compliance teams view verification status across all properties from a single dashboard, filter by property or verification type, and generate compliance reports at the portfolio level.
What we build
- KYC and identity verification integrated into onboarding.
- E-signature and digital agreement workflows.
- Document generation from templates with version history.
- A complete, exportable audit trail per tenancy.
Timeline
A core identity and legal integration platform covering Aadhaar KYC, DigiLocker integration, Aadhaar eSign-based lease signing and Video KYC typically takes 10 to 16 weeks to build. This includes API integrations with UIDAI and DigiLocker, lease template configuration, eSign workflow setup, Video KYC module development, tenant dashboard, compliance reporting and cross-device testing. The timeline depends on the number of lease templates, state-specific legal requirements, the number of properties in scope, and any custom workflow requirements. We scope the full project in the first consultation and provide a week-by-week delivery plan before development begins.

Frequently asked questions
Aadhaar KYC is an identity verification process that uses the tenant's Aadhaar number and OTP authentication to pull verified personal details directly from the UIDAI database. When a new tenant is onboarded, they enter their Aadhaar number, receive an OTP on their registered mobile number, and upon successful verification their name, address, date of birth and photograph are automatically pulled into the tenant profile. This eliminates manual data entry, removes the need for physical Aadhaar card photocopies, and ensures the identity data stored in your system is government-authenticated. The verified data then flows into lease generation, compliance reports and tenant records automatically.
DigiLocker integration allows tenants to share verified government-issued documents directly from their DigiLocker account to your platform. Instead of asking tenants to photograph or scan their Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence or other identity documents, the platform connects to DigiLocker through a secure API and pulls the digitally signed copies with the tenant's consent. Every document retrieved through DigiLocker carries a digital signature from the issuing authority, which makes it more reliable than a scanned copy. This simplifies the document-collection step during onboarding, reduces the time tenants spend submitting paperwork, and strengthens the legal foundation of your compliance records.
Yes. Aadhaar eSign is recognised as a valid form of electronic signature under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the amendments that govern electronic signatures in India. When a tenant signs a lease agreement through Aadhaar eSign, the document is digitally signed using the tenant's Aadhaar credentials after OTP authentication. The signed document includes a digital certificate, a timestamp and a unique transaction identifier, which together make it tamper-proof and legally enforceable. This means your Leave and Licence Agreements carry the same legal standing as physically signed documents, and the digital audit trail actually makes them easier to defend in case of a dispute.
During Video KYC, the tenant joins a live video call through the platform. The session is guided and recorded. The tenant clearly shows their face on camera and presents their Aadhaar card or another identity document. The system captures screenshots of the tenant and the document, records the full video session with timestamp and geolocation metadata, and in AI-enabled setups performs a real-time face match between the live video and the photograph on the identity document. The recorded session is stored against the tenant profile and serves as auditable proof that identity verification was conducted. This is particularly useful for tenants who book a space from another city and cannot be physically present for in-person verification.
