Every job on WorkQuora is protected by design

Before anyone can post a job, submit a proposal, or receive a payout, they complete a five-step identity check:

• Mobile OTP verification — confirms the phone number behind the account is real and reachable, the first step for every new user.
• Aadhaar verification — confirms a real, government-issued identity behind every account.
• PAN verification — links the account to a verifiable financial identity, required before any payout.
• Bank account verification — confirms payouts go to an account that actually belongs to the verified user.
• Selfie liveness check — matches the person behind the account to their submitted ID, to catch stolen or fake documents.

Each step is reviewed individually, and a profile only shows as fully KYC-verified once all five pass. Documents are stored encrypted and are never shown to other users — only the verified badge is public.

When a client hires a freelancer, the agreed budget is deposited into WorkQuora's escrow — not paid to the freelancer directly. That money is held in a secure balance for the life of the job:

• The freelancer can see the job is funded before starting work, so there's no risk of working for free.
• The client keeps control of the funds until they approve the delivered work — no upfront risk of paying for nothing.
• On approval, funds release straight to the freelancer's WorkQuora wallet, ready for withdrawal to their verified bank account.

Every profile shows a clear KYC status, a rating built from real completed jobs, and a review history from past clients or freelancers. Because reviews are only left after a job is marked complete through escrow, ratings reflect actual finished work rather than unverified testimonials.
