Aadhaar adoption and usage continued to record growth as during the
month of September, 25.25 crore e-KYC transactions were executed through
Aadhaar -- almost 7.7 per cent jump in such transactions when compared
with August.
An e-KYC transaction is done, only with the
explicit consent of the Aadhaar holder, and eliminates physical
paperwork, and in-person verification requirement for KYC.
As per
the Ministry of IT, Aadhaar e-KYC service is increasingly playing a
crucial role for banking and non-banking financial services by providing
better and transparent customer experience, and ease of doing business.
The cumulative number of e-KYC transactions via Aadhaar so far has
increased to 1,297.93 crore by the end of September 2022.
Similarly,
Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) has been an enabler of financial
inclusion at the bottom of the income pyramid. Cumulatively, 1,549.84
crores of last mile banking transactions have been made possible through
the use of AEPS and the network of micro ATMs so far by the end of
September 2022.
In September alone, 21.03 crore AEPS transactions were carried out across India.
In September, 175.41 crore authentication transactions were carried out via Aadhaar.
A
majority of these monthly transactions were done by using fingerprint
biometric authentication, followed by demographic and OTP
authentication.
So far, cumulatively 8,250.36 crore
authentication transactions have been completed by the end of September
2022, indicative of how Aadhaar is sincere with its stated vision.
Aadhaar
saturation is now near universal among the adult population of India.
Among all age groups, Aadhaar saturation was 93.92 per cent by the end
of September.
During the month of September, residents
successfully updated more than 1.62 crore Aadhaars as against 1.46 crore
such updates carried out in August.
Cumulatively, till date (end
of September) little above 66.63 crore Aadhaar numbers have been
successfully updated following requests from the residents.
These
updation requests are related to demographic as well as biometric
updates done at both physical Aadhaar centres, and by using the online
Aadhaar platform.
