UIDAI has mandated the phase-out of legacy L0 biometric scanners (like MFS100) in favor of advanced L1 biometric hardware (Mantra MFS110).
Key Differences:
Unlike L0 devices that encrypt biometric data at the PC/Mobile operating system level, L1 devices perform cryptographic signing directly inside the secure hardware chip. Upgrading to an L1 device ensures 100% compliance across all banking, CSC, PM-Kisan, and eKYC portals.
