The Indian government has rejected Moody's claims that the Aadhaar system poses privacy and security risks, emphasizing its global recognition. Moody's had raised concerns about service denials in hot and humid climates and centralized control over-identification.

They clarified that workers don't need biometrics for public job databases or payments. Additionally, a World Bank document at the G20 Summit praised India's Digital Public Infrastructure.
