How your business can make use of Aadhar E-Sign?


Can you imagine signing a service agreement or on-boarding a customer completely online in a matter of seconds without having to deal with photocopies and courier services? Aadhaar E-Sign enables any individual in India who have an Aadhaar number to digitally sign without procuring any additional software or pre-purchasing digital signature from a certifying agency. Any Aadhaar holder can sign a document in digital format using biometric or OTP authentication. The service is an easy and secure way to sign a digital document, anytime, anywhere.

  7. A signed pdf file is returned and a copy of the same is shared to the customer and the other copy is kept with the business house.
