Why was my photo (selfie) rejected, and what should I do now?

Your selfie may have been rejected due to unclear image quality, incorrect pose, or mismatched details. Common reasons include:

  • Blurry Or Low-Quality Image – The photo should be well-lit and clear.
     
  • Face Not Fully Visible – Ensure your entire face is within the frame without any obstruction.
     
  • Mismatch With ID Proof – Your face should closely match the one on your PAN or Aadhaar.
     
  • Wearing Accessories – Avoid hats, sunglasses, or anything that covers your face.
     
  • Poor Lighting Or Shadows – Ensure good lighting so your features are clearly visible.
     

Take a new selfie in a well-lit area, ensuring your face is clearly visible without any accessories like glasses or hats. Use a good-quality camera, avoid filters, and keep the background plain for better clarity. 

Once you have a proper image, re-upload it through the Shree Varahi app or website. If the issue persists, you may contact Lakshmishree support for further assistance.
