The operators under the ambit of Apex Advisory Council for Telecom in India have said that the date of implementation of face authentication should be at least two months from the date that the device ecosystem is ready, and till such time no penalty should be levied. “.in the absence of device ecosystem being completely ready, telecom service providers would not be able to comply with the instructions of the UIDAI within the defined timelines and our members have conveyed the same in the meetings held on 31 August 2018 and 10 September 2018,” the forum said in a letter to UIDAI Friday. Last month, UIDAI had announced a phased rollout of face recognition feature as an additional mode of authentication, starting with telecom service providers from 15 September.
