This is the entry point to your JPSL onboarding. By the end of this stage, you will have a verified account, and your session will be saved so you can resume at any point.


What You Need for This Stage

  • Active mobile number or email address
  • Your Business Type (legal entity classification)
  • Your Business Legal Name as it appears on PAN / registration documents

If you are not sure what your entity type is, read the Document Checklist first.


Step 1.1 — Navigate to the Sign-Up Page

Open your browser and go to:

https://jiopay.co.in/jioconnect/register

Use a desktop or laptop browser for the best experience. Chrome (latest version) is recommended.


Step 1.2 — Enter Your Contact Details

FieldWhat to Enter
Mobile Number / EmailEither your Indian mobile number (+91-XXXXXXXXXX) or your official business email. This becomes your permanent login ID.
Business TypeSelect your legal entity type from the dropdown. Read all options before selecting — this is a locked decision after confirmation.
Business Legal NameEnter your name exactly as on PAN or COI. Write "Private Limited" in full — not "Pvt Ltd".

Click Proceed once all three fields are filled.

⚠️ Business Type Is a Locked Decision Once you confirm the document checklist in Step 1.3, your Business Type is locked. If you selected the wrong type, you must contact JPSL Support to reset your application. Do not guess — confirm your entity classification before selecting.


Step 1.3 — Review the Document Checklist

Based on the Business Type you selected, the system generates a personalised checklist of mandatory documents.

  1. Read through the checklist carefully.
  2. Cross-check it against your prepared documents. If anything is missing, do not proceed — gather the document first.
  3. Click Confirm to acknowledge the checklist and lock in your entity type.

See the full Document Checklist by Entity Type for detailed requirements per business constitution.
