The process of re-verification of existing mobile subscribers using Aadhaar is set to become simpler and more convenient
The NDA Government has initiated a series of measures, including allowing re-verification at subscribers' doorstep and One Time Password (OTP) based authentication of existing users, to make the entire exercise easier for telecom subscribers
Telecom operators have been directed to offer facility for re-verification at the subscribers' doorstep for the convenience of those with disability, illness or old age, the source familiar with the development told
Operators have been asked to put in place an online mechanism (through the website, and other means) for people to request for such service. It has also enabled Aadhaar OTP (One time password) based authentication for re-verification of the existing mobile users
Telecom service providers have been instructed to initiate a scheme to use OTP based re-verification of mobile subscribers using SMS or IVRS or on their mobile app
"This means that if one mobile number is registered in Aadhaar database, then the OTP method can be used for verification of that number as well as other mobile numbers owned by the subscriber," the source pointed out.
Nearly 50 crore mobile numbers are already registered in Aadhaar database, and the OTP can be leveraged for re-verification in all of these cases, the source added. In case of agent-assisted biometric authentication for SIM re-verification or issuance, telcos have been asked to ensure that full e-KYC details of subscribers are not made visible to the agent. Nor should data be stored on the agent's device, the source added. In the current dispensation, e-KYC data of the subscriber including photograph is visible to the agent of the telecom operator
