Why in news
The UIDAI introduced the Aadhaar Authentication for Good Governance (Social Welfare, Innovation, Knowledge) Amendment Rules, 2025, outlining the process for private entities to access Aadhaar authentication.
Private entities must submit their proposals to a relevant government Ministry, which will then refer them to the UIDAI, with justification that the use case aligns with the state's interests.
The amended rules remove previous language about preventing public fund leakage and focus more on Aadhaar's use for governance, innovation, and social welfare.
Potential use cases for the private sector include improved Aadhaar authentication for hotels and the healthcare industry, as highlighted in the initial draft.
