Frequently Asked Questions

Axis Bank KYC — how long does Video KYC take? The video call itself is 3–5 minutes. KYC is approved on the call. SMS confirmation comes within 30–60 minutes. Avoid lunch hours (1–2 PM) for faster executive availability.

My Axis KYC document was rejected — why? Reasons: Name on document doesn't match bank records exactly (check spelling), Aadhaar photo is too dark/blurry, document is expired. Retry with a fresh clear photo in good natural light.

Can I update Axis Bank KYC for my demat + bank account together? Axis Bank savings account KYC covers linked accounts. For Axis Securities (demat/trading) KYC: Login to Axis Direct portal separately → "My Profile" → KYC Update.

Axis Bank asked for "enhanced KYC" for my account — what's this? Enhanced KYC is required for high-value accounts (typically >₹50 lakh balance or high transaction volume). You'll need: 3 months bank statement + ITR or salary slip + Aadhaar + PAN. This must be done at branch for first-time enhanced KYC.

ICICI rejected my KYC status shows "submitted" but account still restricted? Allow 2–3 working days for processing. If account is still restricted after 3 days: Call Axis customer care 1860-419-5555 or 1800-419-5577 with your KYC reference number.
