KYC — start (intro)

Summary

Intro screen for the one-time KYC flow. Explains why KYC is needed, what the user needs (PAN, Aadhaar with OTP-reachable phone, ~2 minutes), and lets them start or skip.

Raw wireframe

Copy

• H1: "One-time check before you hire a CA"
• Why: "Money will flow through Chitragupt to the CA you hire. Indian regulators (RBI + Aadhaar Authority) require us to verify your identity before any paid CA engagement."
• What you'll need: PAN card · Aadhaar number + phone with OTP · About 2 minutes
• Privacy banner: "Aadhaar number is hashed and discarded. PAN stays encrypted. Both go nowhere except UIDAI / NSDL for verification, per DPDP Act 2023 §6."
• Primary CTA: "Start verification →"
• Escape CTA: "Skip · do this later"
