Aadhaar is a key instrument that helps the government manage the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). In addition to being a proof of identity and address, Aadhaar helps ascertain the authenticity of various documents such as PAN card, EPIC card, ration card, and other financial instruments such as savings accounts, mutual funds, loans, credit cards, etc. It is also required for availing all government subsidies through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

UIDAI provides the mAadhaar app that helps users manage their Aadhaar profile on their smartphones. However, with the advent of AI and new technological advancements, the government is planning to launch a new Aadhaar app that will utilise new technology to provide all Aadhaar-related facilities on one platform and safeguard a user’s sensitive personal information from misuse.

Let us understand how the new Aadhaar app is aimed at improving our overall experience and assisting in availing numerous facilities through a single platform.

Key Highlights of the New Aadhaar App

  1. One App for All Services

The new Aadhaar app shall allow users to download Aadhaar card online, update demographic details, complete KYC for various products and access all linked services on a single platform. Users need not switch to multiple platforms for specific tasks related to Aadhaar.

  1. Face Authentication Without OTP

The new Aadhaar app will enable users to authenticate their identity simply by using the facial recognition feature. Aadhaar holders would not be required to provide OTP or biometrics for authentication.

  1. Offline Aadhaar Sharing

The new Aadhaar app shall enable you to share Aadhaar details using a masked QR code. You will no longer be needed to share your Aadhaar number for authentication. This will prevent breach of your documents and thus improve your privacy.

  1. Simplified KYC Process

The new app shall allow all users to complete their KYC for various instruments related to banks, telecom operators, etc. online. There will be no requirement to submit an Aadhaar copy for each and every service if the KYC is done through the new Aadhaar app.

  1. Full Control & Transparency

This new initiative shall empower you to track all instances wherever your Aadhaar was used. You shall also get access to manage your data on your own through the app. You will also get an option to revoke the permission given to an authority once the authentication is done. It will provide an added layer of security for your Aadhaar card.

  1. Aadhaar-linked Services Dashboard

There is a provision in the app to show all services linked to your Aadhaar card. This shall include various instruments such as PAN card, voter ID, UAN, etc. and financial products such as bank accounts, loans, mutual funds, NPS investments, etc.

Apart from that, all government service shall also be mentioned for which you have registered in the past either to avail a subsidy or to benefit from it in one way or the other.

  1. Privacy-First Architecture

The best part of this initiative is that the data displayed in the app would be completely encrypted and accessible only to the Aadhaarholder. This would help safeguard data from breach and would provide a secure identity ownership to the Aadhaarholder.
