e-KYC Online Registration: Aadhaar Verification & Portals

e-KYC online registration is the digital identity verification process conducted via the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to authenticate a citizen's demographic and biometric details electronically. Mandatory across major agricultural and social welfare platforms—such as PM-KISAN, state farmer registers, and NFSA ration portals—completing e-KYC ensures unhindered delivery of Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT).

Importance of e-KYC in government schemes

Electronic verification eliminates identity fraud and streamlines public administration.

Key functions:

Statutory compliance: Ensures welfare assistance reaches genuine, verified citizen beneficiaries directly.
Eliminates duplicates: Removes ghost entries and multiple fraudulent claims across digital registries.
Direct Benefit Transfer: Enables seamless credit of subsidies and welfare payments via the Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS).

Online methods to register and complete e-KYC

Citizens can complete authentication through multiple digital channels.

Available modes:

OTP-based e-KYC: Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number on the designated departmental portal (such as pmkisan.gov.in) and input the 6-digit OTP received on your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.
Biometric verification: Visit an authorized Common Service Centre (CSC) or citizen facilitation centre to authenticate using fingerprint or iris scanners.
Face authentication: Use official departmental mobile apps integrated with the UIDAI FaceRD service to authenticate via smartphone camera from home.

Checking NPCI bank account seeding status

Completing portal e-KYC must be accompanied by active Aadhaar bank account mapping. Beneficiaries can verify whether their bank account is linked to the NPCI mapper by logging into the UIDAI resident portal (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in) under the 'Bank Seeding Status' service.
