UIDAI asks telcos to submit plan to stop Aadhaar-based eKYC
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has asked telecom companies to submit a detailed plan on discontinuation of Aadhaar-based authentication. The companies have been directed to submit the plan by October 15. The move comes after the Supreme Court struck down the portion of Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act, which allowed private companies to conduct Aadhaar-based eKYC.
