UIDAI slashes Aadhaar authentication charge to Rs 3: CEO Saurabh Garg
“We have slashed the rate from Rs 20 per authentication to Rs 3 and the objective has been to ensure that different agencies, entities should be able to use the power of digital infrastructure which has been created by the state that needs to be used to provide people with ease of living with dignity,” Garg said.
Till date, more than 99 crore eKYC have been done using Aadhaar system.
“I think it gives a cost effective and non-repudiable solution to companies to onboard new customers. That is where the power lies and KYC of the Aadhar provides lifetime and reusable identity which is the power of the Aadhaar system,” Garg said.
He said that UIDAI does not share biometrics with anyone and expects all its partners to maintain the same level of security and privacy as the authority does.
