Aadhaar Pay
Aadhaar Pay is an electronic-payment scheme launched by the Indian government. Each user’s payment account is linked to his or her 12-digit Aadhaar number (or ID number) and biometric authentication. The payment method allows users to link their bank account with their Aadhaar data to make in-person payments, which are authenticated via fingerprint. The same scheme allows users to identify themselves for government services, such as social welfare, medical care and passports.
Personal and biometric information is collected from Other e-wallets operating in India include Paysera, Airtel Money, Bajaj Finserv and BHIM.
