If you collect Aadhaar or PAN for a loan, read this now.

Imagine a customer fills your loan form. They give their Aadhaar, PAN, and phone number. But nobody told them why you need it. Under India's new data law, that is a problem. You must tell the customer what data you are taking and why — before you take it. If you run an NBFC or give loans, this applies to you today.
Think about every step where a customer gives you information. They fill a lead form on WhatsApp. They submit their Aadhaar and PAN for KYC. They share salary slips for loan approval. They get calls from your collections team. At every one of these steps, you must show a simple notice. It should say what data you are taking and why. If you skip even one step, you are not following the law.
List every form or step where customers give you their information.
Add a simple one-line notice to each form before data is collected.
