Get verified to take payments

Add your PAN, bank account and GST details (if any), then confirm your identity with DigiLocker. You can do it in the studio chat or in Payments › Get paid. It takes about 3 minutes; review is usually within a day.

Verification lets PlanKnit take payments on your pages and pay you out. It's a legal requirement for payouts in India. Individuals and sole proprietors use their own PAN; companies, LLPs and partnerships use the business form.

Open Turn on payments — In the studio chat after publishing, or from the **Payments** row in Almost ready, or Payments › Get paid.
Add your PAN and name — Your name as it is on your PAN.
Add where we should pay you — A bank account (account number and IFSC) in the same name as your PAN. The IFSC is checked as you type.
GST — Add your GSTIN if you have one. If you don't, PlanKnit tracks your turnover against the GST limit for you.
Verify it's you — DigiLocker opens in a new tab. Approve there and come back; what you typed stays.
Send for review — Your page keeps taking spot requests while we check. Payments switch on as soon as you're approved.

Note: Your PAN and bank numbers go only to our verification step. They are never saved in the chat history or shared with any AI.

Common questions

Why does the bank account need to match my PAN name?

Payouts can only go to an account in the verified person's or business's name.

I don't use DigiLocker. What now?

DigiLocker is used to verify individual identity. If it fails, your details go to manual review instead; you don't need to start again.
