It is designed to work across consumer smartphones and is expected to help government departments, banks, fintechs and other organisations deploy Face Authentication-enabled services more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the SDK, UIDAI has also launched the Aadhaar Face Authentication Sandbox, a secure and controlled environment that allows organisations to integrate, test and validate the complete Face Authentication journey before production onboarding.<\/p>\n<p>The Sandbox enables developers and quality assurance teams to test key stages including user provisioning and consent, face capture, liveness checks, authentication, error handling and response validation, without requiring external biometric hardware. It also supports testing of failure scenarios such as invalid digital signatures, network interruptions, timeouts and spoofing attempts.<\/p>\n<p>The launch addresses a long-standing requirement of the fintech and banking ecosystem for a seamless and secure user onboarding journey within the organisation\u2019s own mobile application. Users can now download a single banking, insurance or broking application and complete Aadhaar Face Authentication within the same app, reducing dependency on multiple applications and simplifying the overall authentication experience.<\/p>\n<p>UIDAI\u2019s indigenously engineered AI\/ML-driven Face Authentication solution, launched in 2021, has processed over 500 crore transactions and has been adopted by nearly 200 entities, including Union Government ministries and departments, State Governments, banks, NBFCs, telecom operators, brokerage firms and certifying authorities, among others. The technology received the Prime Minister\u2019s Award for Excellence in Public Administration 2023 under the Innovation category.<\/p>\n<p>Aadhaar Face Authentication is widely used across services including submission of Digital Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan) by pensioners, Ayushman Bharat beneficiary onboarding, DBT schemes, Aadhaar-enabled payments, SIM activation through e-KYC, and beneficiary authentication for schemes such as PM e-Drive, PM Awas Yojana and PM Kisan.<\/p>\n<p>UIDAI has also unveiled a \u201cPlaybook on Ease of Onboarding\u201d, which will serve as a guide for BFSI entities seeking to onboard themselves into the UIDAI authentication ecosystem for identity verification of customers, staff and other business partners.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi (\u00a0 Justice News) The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-punjab"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pe1HXo-7tO","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/46e14ba7-097c-405c-8770-1b8a95c5dc0e.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28756"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28758,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28756\/revisions\/28758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
