Reliance Communications ready to offer country’s first Aadhar authentication process across retail outlets

INDIA: Reliance Communications is ready to offer the first of its kind Aadhar authentication process in the country post successful testing of the services in both company owned and non-company owned retail outlets.

Reliance becomes the first telecom operator in the country to test the concept of Aadhar authentication from a non-company owned multi brand small retail outlet. Reliance Communications is ready to launch the services across all circles post the necessary guidelines issued by DOT.

Mobile customers can soon walk into any retailer in the country with their respective Aadhar card, post which the retailer can share the customer’s Aadhar profile details along with the biometric authentication details online with UIDAI server for real time authentication of the identity of the customer.

Post this authentication, the customer details can be fetched online from UIDAI server and the customer mobile connection can now be processed with Reliance Communications for immediate activation. The customer verification process is thus undertaken through Aadhar authentication.

Aadhar online authentication process is a paperless and regulatory process to activate new mobile connection instantly. Reliance is the first telecom operator in the country to test the concept of Aadhar authentications from a non company owned multi brand small retail outlet. These non-company owned multi brand small retail outlets spread across the country accounts for 90 percent of the new SIM cards sold every month.
