Aadhaar eKYC is UIDAI’s regulated electronic identity-verification service in India, allowing licensed entities to obtain signed demographic data after a holder consents and verifies through OTP, biometrics, or face authentication, while offline XML files and Secure QR codes can be verified by any entity with consent. Aadhaar covers about 1.34 billion live holders and is a permitted but voluntary anti-money-laundering KYC route, with banks and certain authorized entities able to use online authentication under the Aadhaar Act, PMLA, and sector-specific rules. Online access requires a legal basis and participation as a KUA, Sub-KUA, or through related authentication infrastructure, whereas offline verification prohibits collecting or storing Aadhaar numbers and biometrics. The framework emphasizes consent, data minimization, security controls, audit logging, and alternative identity routes such as passports for people without Aadhaar or those who decline to use it. The material also describes recent growth in authentication and face-verification services, legal changes following the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling, practical onboarding workflows, and a document, NFC, liveness, face-match, and AML-screening product offered by Didit as an alternative or complement to Aadhaar-based verification.
