Q1. Consider the following statements about Aadhaar-based digital governance: 1. Aadhaar authentication involves submitting the Aadhaar number with demographic or biometric information to the Central Identities Data Repository. 2. Every Aadhaar Yes/No authentication response returns the resident's personal identity information to the requester. 3. Aadhaar e-KYC authentication is carried out only using OTP and/or biometric authentication. 4. If a person has not yet been assigned an Aadhaar number, the person must be denied a subsidy or service until enrolment is completed. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Aadhaar authentication sends the Aadhaar number plus demographic or biometric information to the CIDR. Statement 2 is false because Yes/No authentication returns only a digitally signed Yes or No response, not personal identity information. Statement 3 is correct: e-KYC authentication is OTP and/or biometric based. Statement 4 is false because the Act requires alternate and viable means for delivery where Aadhaar has not been assigned.
