Why You Still Need the KYC Form in Canara Bank (2025)
Canara Bank offers online and app-based KYC services; however, the KYC process may still require a signed physical KYC update form at times.
That’s because some updates can’t be verified digitally, or digital KYC may fail due to multiple reasons. For example, when you change your Aadhaar or update your signature, the bank must check your document via branch banking.
Most of the time, online Canara Bank Re-KYC fails due to a mismatch of information between your documents and to bank’s recorded data.
