Your Aadhar is linked to your PAN, and your PAN is linked to your bank and income tax accounts, making it easier for the lender to verify your personal and financial details. It also helps them understand your company’s financial situation before lending to you.
Once your KYC is done, your lender will verify your other business loan documents, such as your proof of business ownership, proof of residence, and financial history. So, it is advisable to have these documents ready before you apply for a business loan to speed up the lender’s assessment process.
