Aadhaar QR-Link Verification

Enables secure Aadhaar-based customer verification using QR code initiation and Aadhaar App face authentication.

The Aadhaar OVSE APIs are designed to simplify digital identity verification without relying on OTPs or manual document uploads.

Businesses can generate dynamic QR codes that customers scan using the Aadhaar App. The Aadhaar App performs secure face authentication and consent capture, after which verified customer details are returned through configured callback endpoints.

This approach improves onboarding success rates while ensuring strong fraud prevention and compliance readiness.
