💨 Abstract

The Indian government has amended the Aadhaar Act to allow private entities to use Aadhaar authentication for delivering services. The Supreme Court had earlier deemed Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act as prone to misuse, which permitted private entities to seek Aadhaar authentication for business purposes. Now, private entities can request Aadhaar authentication if their proposal aligns with specified rules and serves the interest of the state.
