UIDAI restores Airtel’s authorisation to conduct Aadhaar-based e-KYC

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has restored Bharti Airtel’s authorisation to conduct Aadhaar-based electronic know your customer verification of its mobile subscribers subject to specific conditions. The company will have to submit quarterly reports on compliance with the Aadhaar Act and adhere to directions issued by UIDAI from time to time. However, the suspension on Airtel Payments Bank’s licence has not been lifted.
