Aadhaar user consent policy

Voluntary Act

The act of providing your Aadhaar is voluntary in nature, which will only be required for completing your account opening procedure online and for digitally signing the NX BLOCK TRADES PRIVATE LIMITED account opening form. Your Aadhaar may also be used as a proof of address as an alternative to driving license or Passport copy, which is a voluntary decision to be made by You.

You may alternatively choose to go through the offline route of account opening by physically signing all such account opening documents, which does not require you to share your Aadhaar information at all.

NX BLOCK TRADES PRIVATE LIMITED. does not store any Aadhaar information

During your online account opening process, you do not input any Aadhaar details on the NX BLOCK TRADES PRIVATE LIMITED. platform.
