|October 08, 2025
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) may soon enable an Aadhaar-based authentication of the face of a person transferring high amounts online, said a senior executive from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
"We have the world's largest biometric database, and we advocate the use of face authentication as a modality in multi-factor authentication," said Abhishek Kumar Singh, deputy director-general (authentication and verification division), UIDAI.
This modality is further getting a boost as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest guidelines, announced in September, mandated stronger and smarter authentication.
