UIDAI fines Airtel, Axis Bank over Aadhaar authentication
The UIDAI has reportedly told the Supreme Court that it has imposed a penalty of "crores of rupees" on Airtel and Axis Bank for breaching terms attached to Aadhaar authentication. However, UIDAI didn't explain whether the penalty on Airtel was linked to its decision in December last year to temporarily suspend the e-KYC licence of Airtel and Airtel Payments Bank.
