Govt asks Telcos to be ready with new KYC process by Nov 5
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has directed the telecom companies to stop using Aadhaar-based electronic KYC and provide an alternate process for verification by November 5. The directive comes weeks after a Supreme Court order barred private entities from using Aadhaar for digital authentication. After the order, the operators will have to use previous methods for user verification.
