# EDD document requirements

> Documents Indian users must provide for each declared EDD purpose.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is an extra verification step required under AML and CFT regulations. It confirms that a user's activity, source of funds, and transaction purpose are legitimate.

EDD reviews usually complete in 24 to 48 hours. For the API calls, limits and statuses, see [Limits and EDD](/guides/payments/limits-and-edd). The `purpose` values in `POST /payin/edd/save` match the rows in the table below.

## When EDD is triggered

EDD can be triggered for both **Onramp (Payin)** or **Offramp (Payout)** flows when any of the following occur:

* A transaction volume threshold is reached
* A suspicious activity or red flag indicator is detected
* The user asks for a higher daily limit

## Documents required for EDD

The documents required depend on the declared purpose of the user's crypto activities.

| Purpose | Documents required |

## EDD failure reasons

<Note>
  Under the "Prohibition of Tipping Off" clause in FIU India's AML/CFT guidelines, we may not be able to share exact reasons for EDD failures. Disclosing specific reasons could allow users to manipulate documents or responses to bypass compliance checks.
