NEW DELHI: Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Friday unveiled three new Aadhaar-enabled services which would help residents to authenticate their identity anytime and anywhere through a digital platform.

Besides the authority also announced establishment of (around 300) permanent enrolment centres (Aadhaar Kendras). The number of these Aadhaar Kendras would be scaled up to 1,000 by September this year.

“The centres will facilitate enrolment of residents left out during the camps organised by registrars in the past and also facilitate biometric and demographic update,” UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani said.

Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, who was also present on the occasion, said there could be leakage ranging between 20 to 40 per cent in the present system of delivery of benefits under various schemes and said that these services would help plugging them.

The authority has launched three Aadhaar-enabled services including e-KYC, OTP (one time pin) authentication and Iris authentication.

The e-KYC service will enable individuals to authorise service providers to receive electronic copy of their proof of identity and address.

The e-KYC service can be deployed by different agencies to verify a resident’s identity and address. (PTI)
