India has relaxed Aadhaar authentication regulations to allow businesses across various sectors like e-commerce, travel, and healthcare to verify customer identities. This move follows the introduction of the Aadhaar Authentication for Good Governance Amendment Rules, 2025, which expands the use of the biometric ID system despite ongoing privacy concerns. The new rules omit provisions previously aimed at preventing misuse of Aadhaar data. With authentication transactions surging, the ambiguity around privacy safeguards raises questions about data security and individual rights amidst this expanded access to personal information.
The Indian IT ministry introduced the Aadhaar Authentication for Good Governance Amendment Rules, 2025, allowing private entities to use biometric data for various services.
Privacy concerns grow as the government fails to set clear regulations for the Aadhaar authentication system, which now covers a wider range of services and industries.
