KYC: PAN and address proof

KYC is mandatory for every Indian fantasy cricket user. The operator needs to verify your identity, address and PAN before you can deposit money or join a paid contest. The KYC flow takes around 11 to 15 minutes on a current phone.

The desk's step-by-step:

1. Open the operator's app, tap the profile icon, then tap "Verify Account".
2. Enter your PAN. The app will OCR-scan the PAN card if you tap "Scan PAN".
3. Confirm your date of birth (it must match your PAN).
4. Capture an address proof (Aadhaar, voter ID, passport, driving licence). The app OCR-scans the document.
5. Take a live selfie. The app uses liveness detection to confirm the selfie matches the PAN photo.
6. Submit. The operator's verification desk reviews your submission within 24 hours.

Deposit methods

Operators accept deposits via UPI, net banking, debit card and select credit cards. UPI is the fastest route and the most common. The desk recommends UPI for two reasons: the deposit clears instantly and there are no card surcharges.

Minimum deposit is usually ₹ 100. Maximum deposit is published per transaction and per day. The desk recommends starting with the minimum deposit, building your first squad in a practice contest, and only then increasing your deposit if you enjoy the format.

Withdrawal methods

Operators allow withdrawals to a verified bank account. UPI withdrawals are the fastest and clear in 30 minutes on average. Net banking withdrawals clear in 4 to 6 hours. The operator verifies the bank account name matches the KYC name before processing the first withdrawal.

Minimum withdrawal is usually ₹ 100. Maximum withdrawal is published per transaction and per day. Large first-time withdrawals may be held for a server-side risk check; this is standard compliance practice and clears within 24 hours.

TDS on winnings

The operator deducts 30 percent TDS on net winnings above ₹ 10,000 in a financial year under Section 194BA. The operator issues Form 16A within 15 days of the deduction. The desk recommends attaching Form 16A when filing your ITR.

If you have a net loss for the financial year (more entry fees paid than winnings received), you cannot set off the loss against other income under current Indian tax law. Fantasy cricket is treated as a separate "online gaming" source.

Common verification issues

• PAN name does not match Aadhaar name. Fix: update PAN or Aadhaar at the relevant government portal.
• Address proof is older than 3 months. Fix: use a recent utility bill or bank statement.
• Selfie liveness check fails. Fix: use better lighting and a plain background.
• Bank account name does not match KYC name. Fix: contact the bank to update the name on the account.

Responsible play reminder

The desk reminds every reader that fantasy cricket is a paid contest format. Set a weekly deposit cap you can afford to lose. Walk away when the desk tells you the window is unclear. Read the responsible play boundary before you deposit.
