The growth highlights the extensive usage and utility of Aadhaar, as well as the expansion of the digital economy in the country, according to the Union Ministry of Electronics and IT.
With this, the cumulative number of such transactions has gone past 15,452 crores since inception. The June 2025 authentication transactions are nearly 7.8 per cent more than such transactions recorded in June 2024. The growing number of transactions demonstrates how Aadhaar-based authentication has been playing a facilitator role in effective welfare delivery and the voluntary availing of various services offered by service providers. It is a catalyst for ease of living for millions of people. The AI/ML-based Aadhaar Face Authentication solutions developed in-house by UIDAI also witnessed consistent growth.
