Aadhaar verification is a cornerstone of identity confirmation in India, but there is confusion about what is legally permitted. This guide clarifies the legal framework as of 2026.
The DPDP Act 2023
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act significantly strengthens data rights. Personal data can only be processed with specific, informed consent. At MyTrueMatch, we delete all data 90 days after delivery to ensure compliance.
Criminal record checks
There is no single national criminal database in India. Checks involve searching publicly available court records (NJDG) and police databases. It is meaningful but not exhaustive compared to centralized systems like the UK's DBS.
Financial checks and scope
Credit information can only be accessed with express written consent. Any service claiming otherwise is operating outside the law. Our financial review provides an indicative picture based on authorized bureau access.
