KYC documents for proof of identity and residence

When you are applying for a two-wheeler loan, identity and address proof records are a non-negotiable aspect of the paperwork process. The lender ensures that you are a legitimate individual who requests a two-wheeler loan for purchasing a vehicle. Only a  government document should be produced as evidence, such as your driving license, Aadhaar card, passport, voting card, ration card, pan card, or another card. These documents should show your name, address, and photo for cross-verification with the passport photo.
