Aadhaar eSign is an online electronic signature service in India to facilitate an Aadhaar holder to digitally sign a document.[1] The signature service is facilitated by authenticating the Aadhaar holder via the Aadhaar-based e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) service.[2]
To eSign a document, one has to have an Aadhaar card and a mobile number registered with Aadhaar. With these two things, an Indian citizen can sign a document remotely without being physically present.
