The first mile of BGV is identity—and in India that usually means Aadhaar eKYC. June 2026 hiring programs lead with digital identity so downstream education, employment, and court checks attach to a verified person, not a document photo.
eKYC in the hiring stack
- OTP or biometric eKYC against UIDAI with candidate consent
- Face match + liveness via liveness detection to block impersonation
- PAN cross-check where program requires dual-ID validation
- Parallel triggers for address, education, employment once identity clears
Full product detail: identity verification. Broader context: digital identity first mile.
Why eKYC before other checks
Fake identities pollute every downstream result—ghost employment, mis-matched court hits, wrong education records. Leading teams use eKYC as a hard gate, then route to 6-hour digital BGV bundles. For remote hiring, pair with remote hiring BGV playbook.
Consent and data minimisation
eKYC pulls regulated identity data—capture consent per DPDP consent BGV before triggering. Store only fields required for the check bundle; avoid duplicating Aadhaar numbers across systems when masked references suffice.
Common pitfalls
- Running eKYC without liveness on high-risk remote roles
- Treating eKYC as full BGV—still need employment/education/court per role tier
- Manual Aadhaar PDF uploads instead of API-led verification
