Aadhar Card Rules Change: Key Benefits of Aadhaar Face Authentication

Aadhar Card Rules Change: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has launched a new portal to make the services related to Aadhar card more accessible and effective. 

The aim of this initiative is to make the digital verification process faster and convenient, so that citizens can easily avail the benefits of various services. Now private companies will also be able to use Aadhaar-based face authentication, which was earlier limited to only government institutions.

How is the new portal and what will be its facilities?

The new portal swik.meity.gov.in launched by the ministry will make the services related to Aadhaar verification more accessible and comprehensive. Through this, government and non-government organizations can apply for permission for Aadhaar verification. This initiative will eliminate the need for citizens to submit documents repeatedly to verify their identity.

Private companies will also get the facility of Aadhaar face authentication

The government amended the Aadhaar Act on January 31, 2025, under which now various private sector companies will also be able to use Aadhaar face authentication. These include hospitality, healthcare, e-commerce, education and credit rating services. Earlier this facility was available only to government departments, but now this facility has been provided to private companies as well.

How will Aadhaar face authentication work?

Aadhaar face authentication is a digital identity verification system in which the identity of the user is verified by scanning his face. This process is more secure, faster and paperless. Now its inclusion in various apps and services will reduce the verification time and make the process more efficient.

Key Benefits of Aadhaar Face Authentication

What will be the benefits for the citizens?

• Fast Verification – Now there will be no need to go through a long process to avail the services provided by government and private companies.
• Services accessible even while on the go – Through Aadhaar Face Authentication, people will be able to access digital services even from remote locations.

Digital security will increase with the expansion of Aadhaar services

This new step of the government will make the digital verification system more robust and will allow citizens to avail services without any hindrance. This initiative will prove to be important in accelerating the Digital India mission as well as establishing a modern and secure identification system.
