Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will make available facial recognition on Aadhaar registered devices from 1 July. Photo: Priyanka Parashar/MintNew Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Monday moved to enable facial recognition as an additional means of Aadhaar authentication. Facial recognition will now serve as an “additional option” for the users. An AUA may be a government, public or a private legal agency registered in India which uses Aadhaar authentication services provided by UIDAI. This step will help in eliminating fraudulent cases associated with facial recognition, said Rahul Matthan, partner at law firm Trilegal and a Mint columnist.
