The act of providing your Aadhaar is voluntary in nature, which will only be required for completing your account opening procedure online and for digitally signing the Firstock account opening form. Your Aadhaar may also be used as a proof of address as an alternative choice to driving license or Passport copy, which is a voluntary decision to be made by You. You may alternatively choose to go through the offline route of account opening by physically signing all such account opening documents, which does not require you to share your Aadhaar information at all.

During your online account opening process, you do not input any Aadhaar details on the Firstock platform. You would be issuing your Digital Aadhaar to Digilocker, from where Firstock (Firstock is registered as a Requester on the Digilocker platform) would receive information, based on your consent to allow Digilocker to share such information with Firstock, limited to:

1. The last four digits of your Aadhaar / VID (Virtual ID created on the UIDAI website)
2. Full Name
3. Date of Birth
4. Gender
5. Address, and
6. Your Photo

Digilocker is a part of the National e Governance Division under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The Digital Aadhaar issued within DigiLocker is the same as the e Aadhaar issued by UIDAI (hHps://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in). DigiLocker has partnered with UIDAI to make it available automatically to its users when they link their DigiLocker account with Aadhaar. This act of issuing an e Aadhaar within Digilocker and subsequently Digilocker sharing the information limited to the above points, leads to behaving as a physical KYC. Firstock only receives information limited to the above points for the purposes of completing KYC of clients online. All clients may alternatively follow the offline route of account opening, which does not require sharing any Aadhaar related information.

During your online account opening process, you would also be sharing your Aadhaar with NSDL Esign Services for the purpose of digitally signing the Firstock account opening form. NSDL Esign Services does not share your Aadhaar with Firstock. After the account opening form has been digitally signed by you, a copy of the digitally signed form would be emailed to you and to Firstock for reference/audit purposes. NSDL Esign Services is a licensed e-Sign ASP (Application Services Provider) with CDAC, compliant with the guidelines laid down by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), India and UIDAI, to enable you to eSign the account opening forms online.
