Aadhar Enable Payment System
In order to further speed track Financial Inclusion in the country,
Two Working Groups were constituted by RBI on MicroATM standards and Central Infrastructure & Connectivity for
Aadhaar based financial inclusion transactions with members representing RBI,
Unique Identification Authority of India, NPCI, Institute for Development and Research in Banking
Technology and some special invitees representing banks and research institutions.
The working group on MicroATM standards & Central Infrastructure & Connectivity has submitted its report to RBI. As a part of the working group it was proposed to conduct a Lab level Proof of concept (PoC), integrating the authentication & encryption standards of UIDAI, to test the efficacy of MicroATM standards and transactions using Aadhaar before they are put to actual use. The PoC was successfully demonstrated at various venues.
