Authentication & e-KYC

Aadhaar authentication is the process through which the Aadhaar number of a resident of India, along with other attributes (demographic/biometrics/OTP) is submitted to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for verification; the CIDR verifies whether the data submitted matches the data available in CIDR and responds with a “Yes/No”. The purpose of Authentication is to enable residents to prove their identity and for service providers to confirm that the residents are ‘who they claim to be’ in order to supply services and provide access to benefits.

Aadhaar e-KYC is an electronic substitute (to conventional paper-based KYC), which is instant and paperless for industry use to meet KYC requirement of Banking, Telecom, Insurance, Depository Participants and any other legal entity registered in India.

• Elimination of paper verification, movement and storage
• Faster processes and reduced cost of compliance
