UIDAI has recorded over 221 crore Aadhaar authentication transactions in August, reflecting India’s growth of the digital economy and growing usage of Aadhaar.

The Ministry of Electronics and IT said that Aadhaar-based authentication has been acting as a facilitator for effective welfare delivery, and voluntarily availing various services offered by service providers. The ministry also mentioned that in August, 18.6 crore face authentication transactions were completed. This AI-based face authentication allows users to verify their identity through a face scan, ensuring convenience while maintaining security standards.
