Aadhaar authentication transactions surged to nearly 230 crore in June 2025, marking a 7.8 percent year-on-year increase, according to data released by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

A total of 229.33 crore transactions were recorded during the month, surpassing both May 2025 and June 2024, highlighting the expanding footprint of Aadhaar in India’s digital ecosystem.

With this, the cumulative Aadhaar authentication transactions since inception have crossed 15,452 crore, underscoring its central role in welfare delivery and access to services across sectors.

The AI/ML-powered Face Authentication solution, developed in-house by UIDAI, also hit a record 15.87 crore transactions in June — a more than threefold jump from 4.61 crore a year ago. Since its launch, the face authentication modality has been used nearly 175 crore times.

UIDAI said the face authentication tool, compatible with both Android and iOS devices, is being adopted by over 100 government and private entities — including ministries, financial institutions, oil marketing companies, and telecom operators — for seamless identity verification and service delivery.

The month also saw over 39.47 crore Aadhaar e-KYC transactions, reaffirming its importance in streamlining customer onboarding and enhancing the ease of doing business, particularly in the banking and NBFC sectors.
