Branching Logic
IF entity_type IN (Individual, Sole Proprietorship):
- Call "Send CKYC OTP" (Sub-request A) — consent: true + mobile required
- Merchant receives OTP on mobile
- Call "Verify CKYC OTP" (Sub-request B) — with the OTPELSE (Partnership, Pvt Ltd, Public Limited, LLP, Trust, Society, One Person Company, etc.):
a. Call "Fetch CKYC Data" (Sub-request C) — consent: true, fetches directly via PAN
CKYC Response Data (on success)- Name- Date of Birth / Date of Incorporation- Address (city, state, pincode)- Masked mobile number
