The latest to flag concerns about India’s 12-digit universal identity is Moody’s Investors Service.

The global rating major has questioned the reliability of biometric technologies, especially in hot and humid climates, and pointed to consequent service denials.

Aadhaar, world’s largest digital ID programme, enables access to public and private services with verification via fingerprint or iris scans, and alternatives like one-time password, with an aim to integrate marginalised groups and expand welfare benefits access, noted Moody’s.

“However, the system faces hurdles, including the burden of establishing authorisation and concerns about biometric reliability,” Moody’s said.
