Consents

When you have an account with TallyEdge, banks or financial institutions that require your financial data (Financial Information Users, or FIUs) can send requests to get your consent for sharing the data. Once you approve the consent requests, banks and financial institutions where you have accounts (Financial Information Providers, or FIPs) linked with your VUA will start sharing the required details with the FIUs through TallyEdge. At the time of approving a consent request, you can check the purpose, period for which the data will be shared by the FIPs, time window during which the data will be shared, and frequency of data sharing with the FIU.

If you are applying for a loan, the bank (FIU) that provides the loan will require many documents from your side. These documents include your bank statement, GST returns, and so on, that are issued by the FIPs. When you have an account with an accounts aggregator, it becomes easy for the FIUs to request data and the FIPs to share data, with your permission.

Consents ensure that your financial information is shared only with the FIUs that are authorised by you to receive it. FIUs send consent requests to access your financial information to provide the services you agreed to. Based on such requests you can allow the relevant FIPs to share data with FIUs. The FIPs will share end-to-end encrypted data with the FIUs through TallyEdge so that no third party accesses the data while in transit.

TallyEdge maintains the status of every consent. However, TallyEdge does not retain your data during the process.

In TallyEdge, consents are classified as Pending, Active, and Archive.

  • Pending: All the requests that come from FIUs for your approval are listed under the Pending section. You may approve or reject the request as needed.
  • Active: All approved consents and consents that are completed but not expired are listed in the Active section. You can also revoke any active consent if you want to stop sharing data with any FIU. You may pause any active consent if you want to stop data sharing for some time. Later, you can resume the activity.
  • Archive: All consents that are expired, rejected, or revoked are listed in the Archive section.

Read this page to learn how to view the consent requests sent to you for approval, take action, change the status of each consent as per you needs, and view details of archived consents and the accounts linked to such consents.

 

Approve or Reject Pending Consents

When any FIU raises a request for your consent to obtain data from any FIP, you need to approve the request so that the FIP can start sharing the data. You can also decide to reject the request if the requested data need not be shared. In case you do not approve or reject the consent within the time mentioned in the consent request, the request will expire.

 

The Pending tab

You can see the list of consents that are raised by different FIUs. Number of requests will depend on the requirements or applications you have submitted to different banks or financial institutions.

The name of the FIU is on the top left corner of each request.
