Reliance Communications has announced that it is ready to offer the first-of-its-kind Aadhaar 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 Aadhaar 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.
Aadhaar online authentication process is a paperless and regulatory process to activate new mobile connection instantly.
Anurag Prashar, President - Services, Reliance Communications, said, "We are delighted to be the first telecom operator in the country to test the concept of Aadhaar authentication process at non-company-owned multi-brand small retail outlets successfully. This service is completely ready for national rollout and we are confident that RCoM will lead the industry in reaching out to every nook and corner of the country. This online paperless process for instant customer verification and subsequent mobile activation at all multi-brand small retail outlets is set to provide a compelling new experience in terms of speed and convenience to our customers nationally."
Mobile customers can soon walk into any retailer in the country with their respective Aadhaar card, post which the retailer can share the customer's Aadhaar 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 Aadhaar authentication.
