What the Aadhaar Masking API does

Storing unmasked Aadhaar copies is a compliance risk. The Aadhaar Masking API detects the number on the document, in any orientation and on both sides, and returns a masked copy ready for storage, with a confidence flag when manual review is advisable.

Use it at every intake point, from candidate uploads to email attachments, so the compliant version is the only version.

Benefits of the Aadhaar Masking API

Automatically mask the first eight digits on Aadhaar images and PDFs.

Compliant by default

Only masked copies reach storage.

Instant

Runs inline during upload.

Handles real documents

Rotated, both-sided and multi-page uploads.

Review flag

Low-confidence cases are surfaced instead of silently stored.
