UIDAI restores Airtel's licence for Aadhaar-based e-KYC
The UIDAI has reportedly restored Bharti Airtel's authorisation to conduct Aadhaar-based verification of its mobile subscribers subject to riders. However, the authority has not lifted the ongoing suspension on Airtel Payments Bank's e-KYC licence, as per reports. Airtel was accused of using the Aadhaar-eKYC based process to open payments bank accounts of subscribers without their consent.
