How it Works

1 Launch Postman or your preferred API tool and execute the flow by configuring the suitable Method, URL, and Body settings. If you're seeking guidance on how to perform these actions, see here.

2 Upon initiating the API call, a verification request will be sent to your configured Verification Way settings.

3 Based on the request, execute the flow in an incognito browser and follow the prompts to complete the verification process.

4 Begin by providing the GSTIN Number and click on Submit.

An OTP will be sent to the Aadhaar registered phone number.

5 Enter the OTP and click on Submit.

6 The verification process will be completed if the entered data is valid.

If "force onboarding" is enabled in the API request, all users, regardless of status, will be directed to the onboarding flow first, followed by the verification flow if configured.

7 The response can differ depending on the chosen Verification Way and Notification Way configurations. To know more, see here.
