Account Verification Requirements
Identity Documentation
Verification is mandatory for Indian traders before the first deposit. Acceptable identity documents include Aadhaar, PAN card, driving license, or passport. Ensure documents are clear, valid, and match your OctaFX account details. Upload high-quality JPEG or PNG images with sizes below 5MB to prevent delays. Verification processing typically completes within 24-48 hours during business days.
Address Verification Process
Proof of address documents must be recent, issued within the last three months. Acceptable proofs include utility bills, bank statements, rental agreements, or Aadhaar cards showing your current residence. Images must be fully visible without shadows or partial cropping. The automated pre-screening system checks uploads before manual compliance review.
Verification Benefits
Fully verified accounts enjoy higher deposit limits and faster withdrawal processes. Verification also ensures compliance with Indian regulations related to forex and CFD trading. Traders can access all platform features without restrictions once verification completes. Maintaining updated documents helps avoid interruptions during funding or trading activities.
Currency Conversion and Exchange Rates
When depositing in INR, our system converts funds to USD using real-time exchange rates. These rates update every 30 seconds during market hours, Monday 9:00 AM to Saturday 6:00 AM IST. We apply a competitive conversion spread of 0.25% above interbank rates for retail deposits. Before confirming, traders see both INR and USD amounts to ensure transparency.
Large deposits benefit from reduced spreads and rate lock options during volatile market periods. Conversion occurs at the exact payment processing time, minimizing slippage. Historical exchange rates are available in account statements for tax and reporting purposes.
Deposit Amount (INR) | Conversion Spread | Processing Time | Rate Lock Option |
---|---|---|---|
₹500 – ₹10,000 | 0.25% | Instant | No |
₹10,001 – ₹50,000 | 0.20% | Instant | 15 minutes |
₹50,001 – ₹1,00,000 | 0.15% | 5 minutes | 30 minutes |
Above ₹1,00,000 | 0.10% | 10 minutes | 60 minutes |
These measures guarantee fair conversion and protect traders from rapid currency fluctuations. Rate locks are especially useful for deposits made during high volatility sessions. Our system strives to offer consistent and transparent currency conversion for Indian traders.
