In a rule linked to the Aadhaar card, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made a change. Under this rule, business establishments will have to pay 20 paise for verification of each customer and 50 paise for UIDAI to confirm the transaction of money in deals. In this regard, notifications have been issued by UIDAI.
According to the notification, a fee of Rs. 20 will be charged for the base service in each e-KYC and 50 paise for confirmation of yes or no during the transaction. This fee will be tax-free. However, government establishments and post offices have been kept free of these charges.
These charges are to be paid within 15 days of the respective bills. After this, the payment of the fee will be charged at an interest rate of about one and a half percent per month. Along with this, their base verification and e-KYC services will be stopped. In this regard, an official said that first commercial establishments had to spend at least Rs 150 to Rs 200 on the verification of a customer without the facility of the premises.
Both the companies and their customers have the facility of verification through the base. Despite paying this fee for the base service, they will be in the benefits.
