How does Aadhaar e-KYC work for hotel check-in?
Guests verify identity digitally instead of handing over photocopies: via an Aadhaar OTP sent to their registered mobile, an offline Aadhaar XML file whose UIDAI digital signature is validated locally, or DigiLocker sharing the verified document. Flocci Hotels ERP builds all three flows into its check-in wizard.
Indian hotels must verify guest identity, but photocopied IDs are both a fraud vector and a privacy liability. India Stack provides better rails: Aadhaar OTP e-KYC confirms the person controls the registered mobile; offline Aadhaar XML carries a UIDAI digital signature that can be cryptographically validated without any API call; and DigiLocker's OAuth flow retrieves government-verified documents with guest consent.
Flocci Hotels ERP implements these as first-class steps in the check-in wizard, plus Setu identity gateway checks, a front-desk photo-match review, and an immutable audit trail of who verified what and how. Offline XML validation runs locally against UIDAI public-key certificates, so there is no per-guest lookup cost.
