The Aadhaar face authentication solutions, developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), have seen a massive growth with over 78 per cent of the total transactions in FY25 alone, the government has said.<\/p>\n

Since the face authentication solution was introduced in October 2022, UIDAI has recorded a cumulative transaction number of over 130.5 crore, of which close to 102 crore have been recorded in the 2024-25 financial year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt indicates the growing usage, adoption of this solution and how it is benefiting Aadhaar number holders seamlessly,\u201d said the IT Ministry in a statement.<\/p>\n

In the January-March period this year, nearly 39.5 crore face authentication transactions have been recorded.<\/p>\n

In March alone, the face auth solutions have recorded more than 15.25 crore transactions, a 21.6 per cent jump over the previous month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement underscores the trust and adoption of this new biometric authentication modality across diverse sectors including fintech, finance and telecommunications,\u201d the ministry added.<\/p>\n

Several government services are using it for smooth delivery of benefits to targeted beneficiaries. Several flagship schemes including PM Awas (Urban), PM E-Drive, PM-JAY, PM Ujjwala, PM Kisan, PM Internship, are using Aadhaar face authentication.<\/p>\n

Face authentication is also working as a robust alternative and helping senior citizens and all those who have issues with the quality of their fingerprints due to several reasons including manual work or health issues.<\/p>\n

As of now, 102 entities both in government and private sector are using Aadhaar face authentication.<\/p>\n

This AI-based modality works both on Android and iOS platforms. It is safe against any video replay attacks and static photo authentication attempts by anti-social elements and a contactless, anytime- anywhere modality.<\/p>\n

This authentication modality enables users to verify their identity with just a face scan, ensuring convenience while upholding stringent security standards, said the ministry.<\/p>\n
