Finance Ministry Allows Aadhaar-Based Identity Verification for Banking Exams
In a significant move to enhance transparency and prevent impersonation in recruitment exams, the Government of India has authorized the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) to use Aadhaar authentication for candidate verification.
According to an official notification issued by the Department of Financial Services under the Ministry of Finance, IBPS is now permitted to voluntarily use Aadhaar authentication for verifying the identity of candidates appearing in its recruitment examinations.
Objective: Strengthening Recruitment Integrity
The Finance Ministry emphasized that the adoption of Aadhaar-based verification is aimed at:
- Preventing impersonation and fraudulent practices in exams
- Ensuring the authenticity of candidates appearing for recruitment
- Enhancing good governance practices in the examination process
- Improving integrity in recruitment for the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector
While Aadhaar authentication has been approved, its use remains voluntary, aligning with government guidelines that respect individual consent and privacy.
The decision marks another tech-forward initiative in India’s efforts to streamline and secure recruitment processes. Similar Aadhaar-based verification mechanisms have already been adopted in other sectors, including education and public distribution systems.
As IBPS prepares for its upcoming examination cycles, the integration of Aadhaar authentication is expected to bolster trust in the recruitment process and reinforce India’s push toward transparent digital governance.
