Aadhaar verification: why it's needed, what's stored, and your consent

Created by Satyam Gambhir, Modified on Mon, 22 Jun at 10:41 PM by Satyam Gambhir

Why is Aadhaar verification needed?

It confirms your identity, reduces fraud, and helps detect duplicate applications. Verification is OTP-based through an authorised, UIDAI-compliant provider.


Will my full Aadhaar number be stored?

We aim to avoid storing your full Aadhaar number wherever possible and rely on the verification result, in line with data-minimisation principles.


Is my consent taken before Aadhaar verification?

Yes. You provide explicit consent before Aadhaar verification is initiated.
