IBPS allowed to use Aadhaar to verify candidates in bank exams
The Union Finance Ministry on Thursday authorised the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) to use Aadhaar-based authentication for verifying the identity of candidates appearing for exams and recruitment drives. 'This initiative aims to promote good governance and strengthen the integrity of the recruitment process in the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector by preventing impersonation and other malpractices during examination. It will ensure not only a fair and transparent recruitment process but also protect genuine candidates from being disadvantaged due to fraudulent activities. It will also simplify and expedite identity verification, reduce administrative burden and enhance public trust in the overall examination and selection system,' said the Finance Ministry statement. The IBPS came into existence as a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and also as a public trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. IBPS, which had its genesis in the new selection systems adopted by the banking industry in the post-nationalisation period, is an autonomous institute set up by the Reserve Bank of India, Central Financial Institutions and public sector banks. IBPS provides its services to organisations in the BFSI sector, including RBI, SEBI, NABARD, SBI, GIC, etc., many of which are regular members of the IBPS society. In addition, Central Public Sector Enterprises in varied sectors, state government departments/undertakings and municipal corporations also avail its services. Earlier this year, in April 2025, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) had decided to implement Aadhaar-based biometric authentication in all its forthcoming examinations in order to verify candidates' identity on a voluntary basis, officials said on Sunday. This new measure will take effect for recruitment tests conducted from May 2025 onwards. Aadhaar is a 12-digit identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to all eligible citizens, based on biometric and demographic data.

'Expand the use of Payment Connect'
'Expand the use of Payment Connect' Johnny Ng has proposed a dedicated channel under the Payment Connect system for property transactions involving mainland talent in Hong Kong. Photo: RTHK Lawmaker Johnny Ng said he believes that the newly-launched Payment Connect system could gradually be expanded to cover more commercial activities in future, such as transactions of e-commerce, properties, or even digital yuan and stable coins. Operations have been smooth for the cross-border payment service, which links the city's Faster Payment System (FPS) and the mainland's Internet Banking Payment System (IBPS), since its launch on Sunday. Speaking on RTHK's "In the Chamber" programme, Ng believes the current quota set for cross-border transactions is sufficient to meet people's needs. But he also called on authorities to explore other potential use, such as property transactions for top mainland talent in the SAR. "For example, can we develop a closed-loop system for the safe arrival of mainland funds in Hong Kong, that can also help track the asset [flows], and see if it can also be used for sending the proceeds from the sale of local properties back to the mainland?" he said. "I think such a dedicated channel could be established under the cross-border Payment Connect." Ng suggested the system could also cover cross-border e-commerce activities. "Now many Hongkongers are buying products from the mainland through the e-commerce platforms, while mainland consumers are also purchasing products from overseas. "So can we achieve the better integration of payment, customs declaration and logistics on cross-border e-commerce? I think the Payment Connect definitely has the potential to help with such application scenarios," he added, noting the ideas were also discussed during the annual "Two Sessions" meetings among SAR delegates earlier this year. Ng, who is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, added that Payment Connect can also be used for transactions of digital yuan and even stable coins, which is one of the industries the city is seeking to promote.
