The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a statutory authority established under the Aadhaar Act, 2016, by the Government of India. It operates under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and was formed to issue Aadhaar, a 12-digit unique identification number for all residents of India. This number serves as proof of identity and is linked to demographic and biometric data, including photographs, fingerprints, and iris scans. UIDAI manages Aadhaar enrollment, providing services such as real-time identity verification for both government and private entities, electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) services, and data updates for residents. The authority also offers a public analytics dashboard for tracking Aadhaar generation and authentication transactions. UIDAI focuses on serving Indian residents, particularly marginalized communities, and collaborates with government agencies, financial institutions, telecom providers, and private sector organizations to enhance identity verification and service delivery.
