Telecom operator Vodafone said on Monday it will roll out e-KYC facility across 4,500 stores in India that will quickly activate SIMs of its customers with an Aadhaar number. "Customers walking in for a new connection at our stores will walk out talking in just a few minutes. We had partnered with the Department of Telecom (DoT) to pilot the Aadhaar based e-KYC solution and tested it successfully in two circles," Vodafone India, Director (commercial), Sandeep Kataria said in a statement. It will also strengthen the verification process as there will be no room for any manual error," Kataria said. Vodafone said it has developed a special application that will enable retailers to activate customers using e-KYC.
