1. In the Video Customer Identification Process (V-CIP), which of the following is a mandatory security requirement?
Only PAN card can be used as ID proof.
The customer must be physically present in the bank branch.
The video call can be originated from the customer's domain.
The official conducting V-CIP must be a bank official, not an agent.

Utility Bill (Electricity/Telephone) not more than 2 months old.
Explanation:
The 6 core OVDs are Passport, Driving License, Voter ID, NREGA Card, Aadhaar, NPR Letter. Utility bills are "Simplified Measures" or Deemed OVDs allowed primarily for address proof for low-risk customers when OVD doesn't have the current address.
