The statement by UIDAI, which is also planning legal action, comes after news reports that anonymous sellers were offering unrestricted access to Aadhaar details for Rs 500 over WhatsApp.

The UIDAI on Thursday dismissed reports of full Aadhaar details being made available on payment of Rs 500 by anonymous sellers, asserting that its system is “secure” and any misuse can be traced and action taken as it maintains a complete log of various functions.

In a statement, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) reiterated that there “has not been any Aadhaar data breach”.

“The Aadhaar data, including biometric information, is fully safe and secure,” said UIDAI.

The statement comes amid news reports that anonymous sellers were offering unrestricted access to Aadhaar details for Rs 500 over WhatsApp.

The Aadhaar-issuing body said it has given the “search facility” for grievance redressal to designated personnel and state government officials to help residents, that too only upon entering their Aadhaar number.

“UIDAI maintains complete log and traceability of the facility and any misuse can be traced and appropriate action taken. The reported case appears to be instance of misuse of the grievance redressal search facility,” it claimed. UIDAI said legal action, including FIR against the persons involved in the case, is being initiated.

It said even its grievance redressal search facility offers only limited access to name and other details and “has no access to biometric details”.

“...there has not been any data breach of biometric database which remains fully safe and secure with highest encryption at UIDAI and mere display of demographic information cannot be misused without biometrics,” it said.
