Screen 9: Review + Face Match + e-Sign

This is the finish line. The customer has passed the blocking gate, and all their data is verified and ready. Now they need to do three final things: review the complete application, take a selfie for face matching against their Aadhaar photo, and sign the application digitally using an Aadhaar OTP (One-Time Password). When this screen is complete, the customer is done. They close the app and wait for their account to be activated — typically within 24-72 hours. Everything that follows (maker-checker review, KRA submission, exchange registration, depository account opening) happens entirely in the background.

9 Review + Face Match + e-Sign (Final) ~60 seconds

Purpose: Final review, biometric verification, and legally binding eSign (electronic signature via Aadhaar OTP). User is done after this screen.

This screen has three distinct steps, presented sequentially. The customer cannot skip any of them. Each step serves a specific regulatory purpose.

Review Application Selfie Face Match Aadhaar OTP e-Sign

Scroll-through review of the complete pre-filled application. All data from Screens 1-8 is presented in a read-only summary. User confirms everything is correct.

Selfie capture compared against the Aadhaar photo from DigiLocker (Government of India’s digital document platform).

Digital signature on the complete application PDF. This is the legally binding moment — the customer’s Aadhaar-authenticated signature is embedded in the PDF along with a CCA-compliant (Controller of Certifying Authorities) digital certificate.

Now let us look at the vendors that power these three steps. The eSign vendor is particularly important because it produces the legally binding signed PDF that forms the foundation of the customer’s account.

The face match vendor must provide both high accuracy and liveness detection. This is a security-critical step — a weak face match implementation is an open door for identity fraud.

VIPV (Video In-Person Verification) is normally not needed in this flow because DigiLocker provides the IPV (In-Person Verification) exemption. However, there are two scenarios where it becomes necessary.

In rare cases where the DigiLocker flow was not used (e.g., DigiLocker downtime), document OCR (Optical Character Recognition) becomes necessary as a fallback for identity verification.

The customer’s part of the journey is complete. But the system’s work is just beginning. What follows is the maker-checker review and the 8 parallel batch pipelines that register the customer with every exchange and depository.
