How Indian Bitcoin Exchanges verify KYC? If your up-front customer or third-party vetting processes aren’t airtight, you may be letting in bad actors or exposing your organization to risk from hidden relationships. And if you haven’t properly connected the dots of all risk relevant information around your business relationships, you won’t know where to apply extra due diligence when high-risk activity is detected down the road.
I believe that as time passes, there will be even more exchanges that ask for ID photos and other stuff. I think that’s a normal practice.
Generally, for KYC verification at banks, either customer has to visit the bank branch or bank executive visit the customer for paperwork. But, Bitcoin exchanges in India are verifying customers online. I wonder HOW?
User's Photo, Aadhar No. (with scanned copy of Aadhar card), PAN No. (with scanned copy of PAN card), Mobile No. (verified with SMS/Call) and Bank A/C No. are taken. But, how is it verified that the given Photo, Aadhar No. & PAN No. correspond to the given Mobile No. & Bank A/C No.?

U may create an account using stolen ID & fake bank details, because as long as u r not withdrawing, exchange can not verify the bank details. Now, u may deposit stolen money to exchange and withdraw it in bitcoin. Exchange will never no from which account(s) u r depositing till an FIR is lodged. By that time, the bitcoin is gone.
If you will provide fake bank details then how will you deposit funds into exchanges ? As per i know, every exchanges require money deposited from same bank account which you provided as KYC, you can't deposit funds using unknown bank accounts other than which is already linked to your account.
How will the exchange verify whether the fund is deposited from the given bank account? NEFT transaction reference info does not carry bank account details.
One such incident already took place with Zebpay, refer this topic : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zebpay-and-their-unethical-hidden-fees-1766720

We will have to wait for Indian exchanges to answer this question that how do they verify the given proofs. Do they use any third part to get it verified as many organization use third party to get the candidates documents verified before hiring in their organization.

You could instead do how other exchanges do. Hold your id to the webcam.
I dont think any Indian exchange ask you to hold your ID to webcam.
without this option also we can verify the documents by confirming it through the official sites where you can get full details about the proof which users submit so their is no need for webcam type id proof user holding id cards.
