Q27: Which of the following statements regarding the use of Aadhaar for customer identification are correct?

If a customer provides their Aadhaar number voluntarily, the Regulated Entity (RE) must authenticate it using the e-KYC authentication facility provided by the UIDAI.




In cases where e-KYC authentication cannot be performed (e.g., due to illness, old age, or injury), the RE must perform identification using offline verification or by obtaining a certified copy of any other OVD.




If e-KYC authentication fails, the RE is permitted to accept a self-attested copy of the Aadhaar card as sufficient proof.
A
1 and 2 only
B
1 and 3 only
C
2 and 3 only
D
All of the above
βœ… Correct Answer: A
Statement 1 and 2 are correct regarding voluntary Aadhaar use and fallback options.
Statement 3 is incorrect; a failed e-KYC requires an alternative procedure, not just a self-attested copy.
Aadhaar rules are central to RBI KYC Guidelines MCQs.
