Introduction

To receive payouts on Lynk, you must complete a one-time bank account setup. This step enables Lynk to process settlements for payments collected from students and transfer funds directly to your registered bank account.

Bank details are added from your Profile section and are securely stored for compliance, verification, and payout processing.

Until this setup is completed, payments remain disabled.

Why Bank Account Setup Is Required

Lynk handles payments at the student level, but settlements are routed to the account holder’s bank account. Adding bank details ensures:

  • Payments collected from students can be settled

  • Accurate attribution of payouts to the right account

  • Smooth and timely fund transfers without manual follow-ups

This setup is mandatory before any payouts can be processed.


Where to Add Bank Account Details

You can add or update your bank details from:

Profile → Bank Details

The Bank Details card will indicate a Pending status until all required information is saved successfully.


Bank information You Need to Provide

During setup, Lynk will ask for the following details:

1. Account Holder Name

  • Must match the name as per bank records

  • Helps prevent settlement failures due to mismatched details

2. Bank Account Number

  • Enter your active bank account number

  • Used for direct payout transfers

3. IFSC Code

  • Identifies your bank branch

  • Required for accurate routing of funds

4. PAN Number

  • Mandatory for tax and compliance purposes

  • Used for reporting and regulatory verification

5. GST Number (Optional)

  • Required only if you are GST-registered

  • If not registered, you can declare GST exemption


Step-by-Step: How to Add Bank Details

  1. Open the Profile tab in the Lynk app

  2. Tap on Bank Details

  1. Enter all required fields:

    • Account holder name

    • Account number

    • IFSC code

    • PAN number

    • GST number (if applicable)

  1. Confirm GST exemption if you are not registered

  2. Tap Save Bank Details

Once saved, Lynk records your details and initiates internal verification.


What Happens After You Save Bank Details

  • Your bank details are securely stored

  • Payout eligibility is enabled

  • Future settlements can be processed automatically

  • The Pending status is removed once verification is complete

You do not need to repeat this step unless your bank or tax details change.


Important Things to Know

  • Bank details are added once per account

  • Payments remain blocked until setup is completed

  • Incorrect details may delay or fail payouts

  • Only authorized account holders should update banking information

For security reasons, always ensure the information entered is accurate and up to date.


Summary

Adding bank account details in Lynk is a required one-time setup that enables payouts. By providing your bank, PAN, and optional GST information through the Profile → Bank Details section, you allow Lynk to securely settle student payments directly to your account and ensure smooth financial operations going forward.
