Identity Phase — Steps 1–3

📱
Step 01

Mobile Number Verification + OTP

Login & Verification · Identity Phase
Identity
Why We Ask — Mobile Verification
  • 📱 Your mobile number is your primary identity — it links to your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account for seamless verification.
  • 🔐 OTP authentication ensures only you can access your loan application — protecting against identity theft.
  • 📋 RBI mandates mobile-based authentication for all digital lending journeys under the Digital Lending Guidelines 2022.
  • 🏪 Dealer selection at login links your application to the correct partner store for product and offer eligibility.

Step 02

Wallet Creation

Account Details · Identity Phase
Identity
Why do we create a wallet?
  • 💳 Your BajajVerse wallet is your digital identity for all loan and finance transactions.
  • 🔗 It links your KYC, credit limit, and repayment history in one secure place.
  • Once created, future loan applications are faster — your details are pre-filled automatically.
  • 🛡️ Wallet creation is Aadhaar-verified and compliant with RBI digital lending norms.

NTB — New Wallet

Step 03

KYC — Know Your Customer

Video KYC / Aadhaar DigiLocker eKYC · Identity Phase
Identity
Why is KYC mandatory?
  • 🏛️ KYC is mandated by RBI and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for all lending institutions.
  • 🪪 It verifies your identity using government-issued documents (Aadhaar, PAN) to prevent fraud and impersonation.
  • 🎥 Video KYC (V-CIP) is an RBI-approved method that replaces physical branch visits — fully digital and legally valid.
  • 🔐 DigiLocker-based Aadhaar eKYC fetches your data directly from UIDAI — no document uploads needed.

Option A — Video KYC (V-CIP)

1
Live Face Match
Liveness detection + Aadhaar photo match
2
Document Capture
PAN + Aadhaar captured live on video
3
Identity Verification
Name, DOB, gender vs NSDL/UIDAI
4
Consent Recording

Option B — DigiLocker Aadhaar eKYC

1
UIDAI API Auth
Direct Aadhaar XML via official UIDAI API
2
Mobile OTP

Video KYC: 3–5 minutes with a live agent. DigiLocker eKYC: Usually under 60 seconds. Both methods are fully RBI-compliant and legally equivalent.

Profile Phase — Steps 4–5

📋
Step 04

Additional Details

Family, Employment & Residence · Profile Phase
Profile
Why do we collect these details?
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Family details (mother's & father's name) are used for identity verification and fraud prevention.
  • 💼 Employment type and income help us assess your repayment capacity and assign the right loan limit.
  • 🏠 Residence type and alternate contact ensure we can reach you for important loan communications.
  • 📊 This information is used only for credit assessment and is protected under our privacy policy.

Step 05

Soft CIBIL Check

Bureau Check · Zero Score Impact · Profile Phase
Profile
Why do we check your CIBIL score?
  • 📊 Your CIBIL score helps us determine your creditworthiness and assign an appropriate loan limit.
  • 🔍 This is a soft inquiry — it has zero impact on your CIBIL score. Only a hard inquiry (full sanction) affects it.
  • 🤖 We combine your CIBIL score with our internal AI risk model for a more accurate and fair assessment.
  • 🔒 This step is gated — it requires completion of KYC and Additional Details first.

🏪
Step 06

Store Selection

Choose Partner Store · Shopping Phase
Shopping
Why do we verify the store?
  • 🏪 Store verification ensures your loan is linked to an authorised Bajaj Finance partner outlet.
  • 🔒 It prevents fraud by confirming the purchase is happening at a legitimate, registered merchant.
  • 🎁 Verified stores unlock exclusive EMI offers, cashbacks, and zero-interest schemes for you.
  • 📋 RBI digital lending guidelines require lender-merchant linkage for consumer durable loans.
Scan MethodCamera QR scan or manual dealer code entry

Step 07

Generate Store QR

QR for Merchant Approval · Shopping Phase
Shopping
Why generate a Store QR?
  • 🔲 The Store QR is a unique, time-bound token that authorises the merchant to proceed with your loan transaction.
  • 🛡️ It prevents unauthorised transactions — only a QR generated by you can be scanned by the merchant.
  • ⏱️ The 30-minute validity window ensures the QR cannot be reused or misused after the session.
  • 📋 RBI requires a verifiable merchant-customer linkage before any loan disbursement can be initiated.
QR Validity30 minutes from generation
QR ContentEncrypted loan session token + dealer code
ActionShow QR to merchant for scanning
RegenerateAvailable if QR expires
⚠️

Important: The QR is valid for 30 minutes only. If it expires, tap "Regenerate QR" to get a new one. Do not share the QR with anyone other than the store merchant.

📦
Step 08

Add Asset / Product Selection

SKU, Brand, Model & Price · Shopping Phase
Shopping
Why do we need product details?
  • 📦 The product SKU and price determine the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio and the exact loan amount to be disbursed.
  • 💰 Down payment is calculated based on the product price and your assigned credit limit.
  • Only products from Bajaj Finance's approved catalogue are eligible — this protects you from ineligible purchases.
  • 📋 RBI consumer durable financing guidelines require product-level documentation for all loans.
Product CategoryMobile, Laptop, TV, Appliance, etc.
BrandApple, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.
Model / SKUExact model number from store

Step 09

Risk Approval

AI Risk Assessment & Sanction Letter · Approval Phase
Approval
What happens during Risk Approval?
  • 🤖 Our AI performs a final risk assessment combining your CIBIL score, income, and application data to make a lending decision.
  • 🛡️ Fraud validation checks your application against known fraud patterns to protect both you and Bajaj Finance.
  • 📜 A Sanction Letter is generated upon approval — this is your official loan approval document with all terms.

Scheme Selection

EMI Plans & Offers · Approval Phase
Approval
Why do we need OTP consent for scheme selection?
  • 📋 MITC (Most Important Terms and Conditions) disclosure is mandatory under RBI Fair Practices Code — you must acknowledge all loan terms.
  • 🔐 OTP consent for scheme selection creates a legally binding record that you agreed to the specific EMI plan and interest rate.
  • 💡 Comparing multiple EMI plans helps you choose the most affordable option for your budget.
  • 🎁 Some schemes offer 0% interest — the OTP confirms your selection of the specific offer terms.
EMI Tenures3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months
Interest Rate0% to 24% p.a. depending on scheme

Step 11

Cross Sell — Add-ons & Insurance

Add-on Products & Insurance · Approval Phase
Approval
Why are add-ons offered here?
  • 🛡️ Device insurance protects your purchase against accidental damage, theft, and liquid damage — bundled at a low EMI.
  • 💡 Extended warranty add-ons are offered at the point of purchase — the most cost-effective time to add coverage.
  • All add-ons are optional — you can skip this step entirely without affecting your loan.
  • 📋 Insurance is regulated by IRDAI; all products shown are from licensed insurers.
Device InsuranceAccidental damage, theft, liquid damage
Extended Warranty1–3 years beyond manufacturer warranty
EMI Add-onInsurance premium added to monthly EMI
OptionalAll add-ons can be skipped
🛡️ Device Insurance 🔧 Extended Warranty ✅ Fully Optional 📋 IRDAI Regulated

Disburse Phase — Steps 12–16

📲
Step 12

IMEI Validation

Device IMEI Verification · Disburse Phase
Disburse
Why do we validate the IMEI?
  • 📲 The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) uniquely identifies the specific device being financed — preventing duplicate loan claims.
  • 🚫 We check the IMEI against a blacklist database to ensure the device is not stolen, blocked, or previously financed.
  • 🔗 Linking the IMEI to your loan account creates a traceable record for insurance claims and warranty purposes.
  • 📋 IMEI validation is required by RBI for all device financing loans to prevent fraud.
IMEI EntryManual entry or barcode scan
IMEI Format15-digit number (dial *#06# to get it)
Blacklist CheckReal-time check against CEIR database
Dual IMEIBoth IMEI slots captured for dual-SIM devices
ValidationInstant — pass/fail result
💡

Tip: Dial *#06# on the device to instantly display the IMEI number. For dual-SIM phones, both IMEI numbers will be shown.

🔄
Step 13

E-Mandate Setup

Auto-repayment Setup · Disburse Phase
Disburse
Why do we set up an e-Mandate?
  • 🔄 E-Mandate (UPI Autopay or NACH) authorises automatic EMI deductions from your bank account on the due date — no manual payment needed.
  • It ensures you never miss an EMI, protecting your CIBIL score from late payment penalties.
  • 🏛️ RBI mandates e-Mandate setup for all EMI-based loans to ensure systematic repayment.
  • 🔒 You can cancel or modify the mandate at any time through your bank — it does not lock your account.

Step 14

Consent & Agreement

OTP or Digital Sign-off · Disburse Phase
Disburse
Why do we need digital consent?
  • 📜 Digital consent creates a legally binding loan agreement under the IT Act 2000 and Indian Contract Act.
  • 🔐 OTP-based signing ensures only you (the account holder) can authorise the loan documents.
  • All documents must be reviewed and signed before disbursement — protecting both you and Bajaj Finance.
  • 📋 RBI Fair Practices Code requires explicit customer consent for all loan terms before disbursement.

Once all documents are signed, the status updates to Verified (green checkmark) — visible when navigating back to this step. This provides clear progress visibility throughout the journey.

🧾
Step 15

Invoice Upload

Purchase Invoice Verification · Disburse Phase
Disburse
Why do we need the invoice?
  • 🧾 The purchase invoice is the official proof that the product was purchased from an authorised store at the declared price.
  • 🤖 AI auto-extracts invoice details (amount, date, product, GST) — reducing manual entry errors.
  • 📋 RBI requires invoice verification for all consumer durable loans to prevent over-financing and fraud.
  • 🔗 The invoice amount must match the loan amount — any discrepancy will flag the application for review.
Upload MethodCamera capture or file upload (JPG, PNG, PDF)

Step 16

Delivery & Disbursement

Case Submit for Disbursement · Disburse Phase
Disburse
What happens after you submit?
  • 🚚 The Delivery Order (DO) QR authorises the merchant to hand over the product to you — show it at the store.
  • 💰 Disbursement means Bajaj Finance pays the merchant directly on your behalf — you repay via EMIs.
  • ⏱️ Disbursement is processed within 2 hours of submission. You will receive an SMS confirmation.
  • 📄 Your loan account number and repayment schedule will be sent to your registered mobile and email.
