What is vendor due diligence in India?

Vendor due diligence in India is the process of verifying a supplier's or business partner's legal registration, GST status, financial health, director backgrounds, and compliance history before entering into a contract or making a payment. It reduces the risk of fraud, compliance violations, and supply chain failures.

What documents are checked for vendor verification in India?

Standard vendor verification in India covers GST registration certificate, PAN, CIN (company registration number via MCA), MSME certificate if applicable, director KYC documents, and bank account verification. High-risk vendors may also require financial statements and criminal background checks on directors.

How often should vendor KYC be refreshed?

Most businesses refresh vendor KYC annually or whenever there is a significant change in the vendor's ownership, directors, or business activity. Regulated entities like banks and NBFCs under RBI guidelines must periodically re-verify vendor and counterparty data.
