Typically there is no requirement for buying a handset. You need documents to get a connection. However you need a set of document to purchase the iphone from airtel. This requirement is there as you will need to get a connection along with the handset.

If you are an existing Airtel customer then you just need to carry your existing Airtel SIM card. However if you are not an existing airtel customer then you will need the following documents to buy Airtel Post Paid or Prepaid connection:
1) Proof of Identity and Address (Passport/Arms License /Driving License/Photo Identity Card having Address/Election Commission Id Card/ Ration Card with Photo and Address of person whose photo is affixed/CGHS/ECHS Card) 
2) Photograph
3) Proof of Address ( Ration Card/Water Bill not older than last 3 months/Telephone Bill of fixed line not older than last 3 months/Electricity bill of state company not older than last 3 months/Income tax assessment order/Vehicle Registration certificate/Registered Sale or Lease Document

Most probably there will be a queue to purchase the iphone. So ensure that you have all the documents handy. Else you may have to come back empty handed after standing in the queue for 3-4 hours.
