Identity verification using India's Aadhaar biometric system to confirm a person's identity through fingerprint or iris data linked to their 12-digit UID.
Used for government-mandated employee verification, contractor onboarding, and compliance workflows requiring nationally recognized identity proof.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aadhaar-Based Authentication
Is Aadhaar authentication mandatory for biometric attendance?
It is not universally mandatory — it is required for specific government schemes (MGNREGA, DBT) and sectors mandated under central or state regulations.
How does Aadhaar authentication work on-site?
The user's fingerprint or iris is captured on a certified STQC device and matched against UIDAI's database via an encrypted API, returning a yes/no authentication result.
Is Aadhaar data stored on Nialabs systems?
No. UIDAI regulations prohibit local storage of Aadhaar biometric data. Authentication happens in real time with UIDAI and no raw biometric data is retained.
