Banking reforms: Cooperative banks get Aadhaar-enabled services under simplified UIDAI framework; boost for rural inclusion

A new Aadhaar-based framework has been introduced for cooperative banks, enabling authentication and eKYC services. This initiative, spearheaded by the Cooperation Ministry and UIDAI, allows state cooperative banks to register directly with UIDAI, while district central cooperative banks can utilize their state counterparts’ infrastructure. The move aims to enhance financial inclusion in rural areas by cutting costs and improving efficiency.
