Indian KYC blogs keep hammering the same workflow: combine Aadhaar + PAN + salary proof into one PDF, then compress under portal caps. The missing line is usually privacy.
Safe local workflow
- Collect clear scans (not 10 blurry phone photos).
- Name files
01-aadhaar.pdf,02-pan.pdf,03-salary.pdf. - Merge in Pdf Buddy on your PC — files stay local.
- Compress if the portal wants ~1–2 MB (or tighter).
Why not a random upload site
A merged KYC pack is an identity bundle. Prefer a local editor. Related: portal pack checklist.
