In short
Video-KYC runs under the RBI Video-based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP) norms and the DPDP Act. The live video, facial-match and liveness data you capture is high-risk, so reasonable security safeguards, minimization and clear consent are central. Penalties reach ₹250 crore.
What changes for this niche, and the specific rule it turns on.
V-CIP sits under the RBI KYC Master Direction; the DPDP Act adds the data-protection layer.
Live video, facial-match and liveness data demand strong security under Section 8(5); encrypt and restrict access.
Capture only what identification needs; keep the recording only as long as KYC rules require.
Video-KYC and liveness vendors are processors; contract and oversee them.
