Through which portal is Aadhaar-based face authentication for life certificates carried out?
- A.Jeevan Pramaan
- B.SPARSH
- C.DigiLocker
- D.UMANG
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Jeevan Pramaan. Face authentication based on Aadhaar is offered through the Jeevan Pramaan portal and its mobile application, and more than four-fifths of the certificates in this campaign are being generated in that manner, which removes the need for a separate biometric device. Option B, SPARSH, is the defence pension platform on which pensioners are onboarded and which runs the service centres that help them, so it supports the exercise but is not the face authentication portal. Options C and D are genuine digital governance platforms used for documents and government services respectively, and neither is the route for the life certificate. The advantages recorded for face authentication are submission from home, a way round faded fingerprints in very old pensioners, and easier access for those with limited mobility.
