If you have registered on TaskOnPhone but not yet completed your KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, you are likely seeing a limited selection of tasks and a cap on your payout amounts. This guide explains exactly what KYC involves, why it matters, and how to complete it quickly.
Why does TaskOnPhone require KYC?
KYC verification on TaskOnPhone serves two purposes. First, it is a legal requirement under Indian financial regulations for any platform processing payments above certain thresholds. Second, it builds trust between workers and businesses — verified workers get access to higher-paying tasks because businesses have more confidence in their identity.
- Workers without KYC: access to tasks up to ₹200 per task, payout limit ₹5,000 per month
- Workers with KYC: access to all task categories, no monthly payout cap, eligible for field audit and mystery shopping assignments
Completing KYC typically takes 5-10 minutes and instantly unlocks the highest-paying task categories on the platform.
What documents do you need?
TaskOnPhone uses Aadhaar-based eKYC, which means you do not need to upload physical documents or visit any office. You need:
- Your Aadhaar card number (12-digit)
- Access to the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar (for OTP verification)
- PAN card number (required only if your earnings exceed ₹50,000 in a financial year)
Step-by-step KYC process
- Open the TaskOnPhone app and go to your Profile section
- Tap "Complete KYC" — you will see a prompt if KYC is pending
- Enter your Aadhaar number and consent to verification
- Enter the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number
- Verification is instant — your account is upgraded immediately upon successful verification
What if my mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar?
If your mobile number is not linked to your Aadhaar, you will need to visit your nearest Aadhaar enrolment centre to link it. This is a one-time process at the post office or bank. Once linked, return to the app and complete KYC in minutes.
Is my Aadhaar data safe?
TaskOnPhone uses the official UIDAI Aadhaar eKYC API for verification. We do not store your full Aadhaar number — only a masked version is retained for compliance purposes. Our data handling is governed by our Privacy Policy and complies with Indian IT Act requirements.
What tasks unlock after KYC?
- Mystery shopping assignments (₹150 - ₹800 per task)
- Field audits (₹200 - ₹1,000 per assignment)
- Audio transcription tasks (₹120 - ₹700)
- High-value survey campaigns (₹100 - ₹400)
