Story 1
The Grandpa Who Completed KYC with His Enkel's Aadhaar
An elderly grandpa, struggling to understand online processes, approached his tech-savvy grandson for help with his Paytm KYC. Without realizing, the grandson entered his own Aadhaar number instead of his grandpa's. When the grandpa received the OTP, he was bewildered. "I never applied for a new Aadhaar card," he exclaimed. After some laughter and confusion, they finally sorted out the mix-up, teaching the grandpa the importance of double-checking information before submitting.
Story 2
The Self-Portrait Masterpiece
A young lady, eager to complete her Paytm KYC, took multiple selfies but couldn't seem to get a photo that met the guidelines. Her hair was too messy, her smile was too awkward, and she couldn't hold her phone steady. Finally, after numerous attempts, she came up with a brilliant idea. She set her phone on a tripod and used a remote shutter to take a picture. The result was a stunning self-portrait that showcased her artistic skills and proved that KYC can be both fun and creative.
Story 3
The KYC Disaster
A clumsy office worker, in a rush to finish her KYC, managed to spill coffee all over her driver's license. Panicking, she tried to dry it with a hair dryer, but the heat melted the plastic, making it unreadable. She frantically searched for another document but realized she had misplaced her passport. In a moment of desperation, she submitted a photo of her cat's ID tag as her proof of identity. Needless to say, Paytm did not approve her KYC application.
