Date: 31 January 2026
Issued by: Indian Press Union (IPU)
Indian Press Union (IPU) hereby issues this formal public notice to inform all members/applicants that the Aadhaar-based Automatic KYC facility on the IPU website/portal is currently temporarily disrupted due to technical reasons. As a result, certain users may experience failure or delay in completing KYC through the automatic mode.
In the interest of ensuring timely service delivery and avoiding inconvenience to users, IPU clarifies that affected users may immediately opt for the “Manual KYC” process, which remains valid and fully acceptable during this interim period.
Important Advisory
- If your Automatic KYC is failing repeatedly, please switch to Manual KYC to avoid unnecessary delay.
- Do not share your OTP, password, banking/UPI details, or login credentials with any person, agent, or third party.
- Please rely only on official IPU communication and notices published on the official website.
Manual KYC (Step-by-Step)

- Government ID proof (Aadhaar / PAN / Voter ID / Driving Licence / Passport — as applicable)
- Address proof (if requested)
- Recent photograph/selfie (if requested)
- After submission, please save your Acknowledgement/Reference Number for tracking.
Note: Blurred, cropped, or unreadable uploads may lead to delays in verification.
