新德里消息:Bharti Airtel可能要交罚款的涉嫌违反规则使用Aadhaar为其电子了解你的客户(e-KYC)验证过程,根据印度唯一标识的一个官方机构(UIDAI)。

中国最大的电信运营商已经暂停使用Aadhaar对连接进行身份验证,并打开新的UIDAI付款银行账户。

惩罚的天数将基于规则的违反,可以运行超过2卢比,UIDAI官员说。“根据Aadhaar行为,处罚违反的每天几卢比,”他说。”通知已发送到公司,最后一个数量将决定在普华永道——已经被我们完成了其审计。”

UIDAI发送一个通知给公司接到市民的投诉后,9月开付款银行账户没有明确同意的用户。它还导致液化石油气补贴支付被定向到账户。

Bharti Airtel与权威,希望早日解决,它补充说。“我们也承诺全面表示行动的优先级,开始彻底检查我们的流程流,”它说。“符合我们所有指南是至关重要的。在此期间,给顾客造成的不便表示遗憾。”

Aadhaar链接已经强制手机账户以打击滥用被恐怖分子和其他罪犯。Bharti Airtel客户没有意识到账户和重定向的补贴,根据UIDAI官员。

“许多客户没有意识到银行账户的变化,认为政府已经停止补贴,“UIDAI官员说。补贴近470万液化石油气的客户达167卢比据说转移到这样的帐户。

Bharti Airtel UIDAI带来了说的注意,它曾试图弥补。“我们在过程中把每个客户都给一个明确的同意开立银行帐户,”它说。“表达检查中的应用也改变了选择模式”。

UIDAI声称Airtel高管所使用的手机应用程序来验证连接有一个提前预支了框说明用户希望开一个Aadhaar-linked付款的银行账户。

惠誉国际评级(Fitch Ratings)主任Nitin索尼说,他预计不会对Airtel金融类股的任何有意义的影响。
