Getting mobile SIM activated for Aadhaar number holders may be a matter of few minutes in the coming days as government has decided launch UIDAI's electronic-Know-Your-Customer service. Under the Unique Identification Authority of India's e-KYC service, the credentials of a person will be verified online by a service provider like banks or telecom operators on the basis of Aadhaar number and biometric details.
Under this service, the customer seeking a mobile connection would have to provide Aadhaar number to the authorised sales agent of a telecom service provider.
The agent will online authorise UIDAI by way of biometric authentication using customer's fingers or iris scan to provide his demographic data and UIDAI will provide same in a digitally signed and encrypted format along with Aadhaar number to the telecom service provider.
However, as per the notification, the telecom companies would also continue the existing procedure of verifying the customers' proof of identity and residence.
