Aadhaar Authentications Cross 27 Billion in FY25

Aadhaar authentication transactions surged past 27.07 billion in FY 2024–25, including 2.47 billion in March alone, reflecting its growing adoption across sectors such as banking, finance, telecom, and public service delivery.

This biometric modality is now used by more than 100 government and private sector entities to ensure seamless delivery of services and benefits.
UIDAI was recently awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration in the Innovation category for its face authentication solution, recognising the authority’s pioneering efforts in digital service delivery.
Aadhaar e-KYC services continue to enhance user experience and business ease, especially in the financial sector. In March 2025, 446.3 million e-KYC transactions were completed, marking a 6% year-on-year increase. As of March 31, 2025, the cumulative e-KYC transaction count reached 23.56 billion.
