Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification announces the Aadhaar (Authentication and Offline Verification) Second Amendment Regulations, 2024. It amends the existing Aadhaar (Authentication and Offline Verification) Regulations, 2021.
  • The amendments primarily focus on minor textual changes, clarifying the language related to 'requesting entity', and specifying the criteria for the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to approve entities involved in Aadhaar authentication and offline verification.

Key Changes

  • The term 'Requesting entity' is replaced with 'requesting entity' in regulation 2(1)(o) and 23(1).
  • In regulation 12, the phrase 'Requesting Entities and Authentication Service Agencies' is replaced with 'requesting entity and Authentication Service Agency'.
  • Regulation 12(6) is amended to clarify that the UIDAI will assess the 'general character of management and the financial condition of the applicant' to ensure data privacy and security before approving an entity.
  • In regulation 22(4), 'Requesting Entities, Authentication Service Agencies and Offline Verification Seeking Entities' is replaced with 'Every requesting entity, Authentication Service Agency and Offline Verification Seeking Entity'.

Impact Analysis

Requesting Entities

  • Requesting entities should note the change in terminology from 'Requesting Entities' to 'requesting entity' in various sections of the regulations but no action is required.

Authentication Service Agencies

  • Authentication Service Agencies should note the change in terminology from 'Authentication Service Agencies' to 'Authentication Service Agency' in various sections of the regulations but no action is required.

Offline Verification Seeking Entities

  • Offline Verification Seeking Entities should note the change in terminology from 'Offline Verification Seeking Entities' to 'Offline Verification Seeking Entity' in various sections of the regulations but no action is required.

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)

  • UIDAI should update its internal processes to include the assessment of the 'general character of management and the financial condition of the applicant' as a criterion for approval.

General Public

  • The public is not directly impacted by the textual changes, but benefits from the increased scrutiny of entities handling their Aadhaar information.
