“UIDAI Authentication data analysis” by @iam_anandv medium.com/@venkatanaraya… | Numbers don't lie. #Opendata
Only 2.20 Crore people actually consented to linking PAN-Aadhaar, everyone else was demographically authenticated and seeded by agency. #Consent
Why does Airtel, Jio have 3-4 times transaction volumes of their customer base. Auth failure / non consensual payment 🏦 account opening?
More than 25% of the authentication is demographic (334 crores) of which 231 crores is done in the last one year often without the knowledge of the resident.
The total number of authentications as on October 2016 is about 331 crores but it is 1255 crores on November 2017,which is an increase of 924 crores(3X increase). Demographic authentication alone accounts for 231 crores and this is because of the mandatory PAN, Sim, Bank linkage.
We don't have any data on failure stats, so these numbers are with failures. It's understandable auth has biometric failures, but eKYC fails at scale too?
Will @India_Stack care to tell us about success of eKYC on Jio given this data? If eKYC is taking three attempts at scale, it's inconvenience sold.
