Bharti Airtel can do e-KYC till January 10 with riders

Airtel can use the e-KYC and authentication service only for re-verification and issuance of SIM cards

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has conditionally allowed Bharti Airtel to conduct e-KYC verification of mobile subscribers up to January 10 if Rs 138 crore of the cooking gas subsidy transferred into its subscribers’ payment bank accounts is reverted to other bank accounts held by them.
 
The UIDAI had last week barred Airtel from conducting Aadhaar-based SIM verification of its mobile customers and payments bank clients after reports emerged that payment bank accounts were opened for its mobile subscribers without “informed consent” and cooking gas subsidy worth crores of rupees was deposited into them.
