Govt allows Aadhaar-enabled face authentication in private entities' mobile apps

The government permits Aadhaar-enabled face authentication in private mobile apps, enhancing service access. A new Aadhaar Good Governance portal streamlines authentication approval following a January 2025 amendment. This change aims to improve transparency and inclusivity while easing access to services like healthcare, e-commerce, and education through the Aadhaar verification mechanism for both government and private entities.
