The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on October 04, 2023, notified regarding the Aadhaar seeding in respect of Insured persons and their family members.
It has been observed that the progress of Aadhaar seeding is not satisfactory and the field offices are not able to achieve the daily targets fixed for them. Field offices have frequently raised issues relating to OTP-based authentication citing reasons like non-receipt of OTP, change of mobile number by IPs etc.
In view of the above, the matter has been examined at Headquarters and it has been decided that in addition to OTP-based authentication, biometric authentication should also be introduced to speed up Aadhaar seeding in respect of insured persons and their dependents.
