KYC & Document Verification Procedures

• Aadhaar — identity verification
• PAN — tax compliance under the Income Tax Act
• Bank proof — payout processing
• FSSAI license — food safety compliance under the FSS Act, 2006
• Producer photo — platform profile

• Aadhaar: Confirms you are a real, uniquely identified person before we list your kitchen. It prevents impersonation and duplicate accounts.
• PAN: Required to report earnings and deduct tax where applicable under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
• Bank proof: Ensures payouts reach an account that belongs to you, and satisfies payment-partner verification requirements.
• FSSAI license: Mandatory for anyone manufacturing or selling food in India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
• Producer photo: Builds buyer trust by showing the real person behind the kitchen on your public profile.

All documents are stored in private encrypted storage. Access is time-limited (5-minute signed URLs) and logged. Documents are never shared with third parties.

Only verified Tummy & Mummy coordinators during the onboarding review process. All access is logged in our audit trail.

Documents are retained while your account is active plus 3 years after deactivation, as required for GST audit compliance and FSSAI record-keeping.

You may request deletion of your data (by closing your account), request a copy of your data (via the data export feature in your dashboard), or correct errors by re-uploading documents.
