TRAI issues recommendations on the use of Aadhaar-based e-KYC process

TRAI has issued its recommendations on the use of Aadhaar-based electronic know your customer (e-KYC) processes for the verification of existing mobile subscribers and outstation Aadhaar card holders. TRAI has recommended that DoT should work with operators to evolve a framework to verify the existing mobile subscribers through Aadhaar-based e-KYC services in a phased manner and within a defined time frame. Further, TRAI has also recommended that Aadhaar-based e-KYC be permitted for outstation customers at any place within the service area of the operator.
