Delhi begins Aadhaar Vault rollout to strengthen privacy safeguards

In an effort to enhance data protection and ensure strict compliance with privacy norms, the Delhi government has started implementing the Aadhaar Vault system to store residents’ Aadhaar details, officials aware of the matter said on Wednesday.

The initiative is being undertaken as per the guidelines of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and is intended to encrypt Aadhaar data and prevent identity misuse as more citizen services shift to paperless and digital platforms.
