How does Aadhaar Paperless Offline e-KYC work?

Aadhaar Paperless Offline e-KYC negates the requirement for residents to submit a photocopy of their Aadhaar card, instead of allowing them to download the KYC XML and deliver it to service providers seeking their KYC details. The KYC records are recorded in a machine-readable XML format that is digitally certified by UIDAI, letting the agency validate its legitimacy and identify any deceit. The service provider or agency can also use its own OTP/Face authentication procedures to verify the user's identity. The UIDAI digital signature is used to digitally sign the XML file created by the Aadhaar number holder utilising Aadhaar Paperless Offline e-KYC. When performing offline verification, the service provider can validate the file's demographic details and declare it as valid.
