UIDAI allows Airtel to continue eKYC till Jan 10

Giving a relief to Airtel, UIDAI has allowed it to use the electronic Know Your Customer feature of Aadhaar after the telecom service provider has repaid Rs. 138 crore of subsidy payments back in the original bank accounts of 55.63 lakh customers. The permission is till Jan 10.


However, Airtel Payment Bank has not been allowed to use eKYC license key and it shall remain deactivated until further notice.

According to Union minister for electronics and information technology, Ravi Shankar Prasad, "the Aadhaar Act is very clear and the misuse of Aadhaar data is not desirable. These types of strict action will be taken against all those who don't comply with the rules."
