Aadhaar authentication transactions surge to 2.31 billion in March, reflecting increasing adoption of the digital identity system
April 28, 2023: According to recent data released by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), a staggering 2.31 billion Aadhaar authentication transactions were made in March 2023. This marks a significant increase from the 2.14 billion transactions reported in February 2023.
Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued to residents of India by the UIDAI, which serves as a proof of identity and address.
Aadhaar authentication is the process of verifying an individual’s identity using their Aadhaar number and biometric data, such as fingerprints and iris scans.
The increase in Aadhaar authentication transactions in March can be attributed to a number of factors, including the growth in digital transactions and the increasing reliance on Aadhaar for various services and schemes.
Aadhaar authentication is used in a variety of sectors, including banking, telecom, government services, and more.
The UIDAI has been taking steps to improve the security and privacy of Aadhaar authentication, including the introduction of face authentication and the use of virtual IDs. These measures aim to prevent fraud and ensure the privacy and security of Aadhaar data.
The increase in Aadhaar authentication transactions is a testament to the growing adoption of Aadhaar as a trusted and convenient means of identity verification.
With the government’s focus on digitization and the increasing use of technology in various sectors, Aadhaar is likely to play an even more significant role in the future.
