Aadhaar number holders carried out more than 2,707 crore authentication transactions in 2024-25 including 247 crore such transactions in March alone, underlining the growing adoption and utility of the 12-digit unique identifier.

The artificial intelligence/machine learning-based Aadhaar Face Authentication solutions developed in-house by UIDAI have been witnessing significant growth.


In March, more than 15 crore such transactions took place, indicative of the growing usage, adoption of this authentication modality and how it is benefiting Aadhaar number holders seamlessly, the release said.

Over 100 entities both in government and private sector are using face authentication for smooth delivery of benefits and services.

The total number of eKYC transactions (44.63 crore) carried out during March 2025 is over six per cent more than the numbers during the same period last year. The cumulative number of e-KYC transactions has touched 2356 crore as on March 31, 2025.
