Methodology
What “verified” means on FVI
Verification is an evidence label, not an endorsement. It explains where a published portfolio record came from, how recently it was reviewed, and what level of scrutiny was applied.
Verification tiers
Demo
Fictional data seeded to demonstrate the product. Not a real investor record. Clearly labelled on every card.
- Shows how the platform works
- Fictional holdings and transactions
- No real person behind the data
CAS Verified
A CDSL or NSDL Consolidated Account Statement was reviewed by FVI. Holdings are matched against the official demat record.
- Submitted CDSL/NSDL document reviewed
- Published holdings matched to the statement
- Reviewed for consistency; not an authenticity guarantee
Broker Linked
Read-only broker API access is reviewed after legal and broker ToS checks. Holdings are pulled directly from broker records.
- Read-only broker access
- Subject to broker ToS and legal review
- Higher technical assurance
How CAS verification works
01
Creator downloads their CAS
The creator downloads their Consolidated Account Statement from CDSL's myeasi portal or NSDL CAS portal using their PAN.
02
Statement is submitted to FVI
The PDF is shared with FVI via the /connect application process. Personal financial details beyond holdings are redacted.
03
Holdings are matched
FVI reviews the statement and matches the holdings to what will be published on the creator's profile. Any discrepancy is flagged.
04
Profile goes live with CAS badge
Once verified, the profile is published with a CAS badge and the verification date. Updates are re-verified periodically.
Evidence artifacts on every profile
What FVI does NOT do
Paid creator/follow features require SEBI and legal review before launch. The current product posture remains: education-only, no investment advice, no execution, no copy trading.
