Aadhaar continues to play a pivotal role in India's digital transformation, with nearly 225 crore authentication transactions and 43 crore e-KYC transactions recorded in February 2025 alone, according to an official release on Friday.

The growing adoption of Aadhaar-based verification highlights its expanding significance in banking, finance, and other sectors, ensuring more seamless, secure, and efficient processes.

The total number of e-KYC transactions in February stood at 42.89 crore, marking a nearly 14% increase compared to the same period last year.

"Aadhaar e-KYC service continues to play an important role for banking and non-banking financial services by providing transparent and improved customer experience, and helping in ease of doing business," the release stated.
