Cost calculator
Estimate your AUA or Sub-AUA setup and running costs
Indicative one-time and annual costs for the infrastructure and security an Authentication User Agency (AUA) runs, or the integration and audits a Sub-AUA needs. Choose the model, switch components on or off, and move the estimate between the lower and upper end of each range.
These are your institution's own costs, on your own infrastructure, for the listed components only. UIDAI licence fees, ASA-AUA charges and legal fees are not included. These are planning figures, not a quotation.

Talk to our expertsIndicative estimates of your institution's own costs, for planning only, not a quotation. Actual costs depend on transaction volumes, vendor selection, hosting model and what your institution already has in place. The calculator does not assess whether your institution is eligible to become an AUA or Sub-AUA, which is decided under the Aadhaar Act and UIDAI's regulations.
Amounts are rounded, so the parts may not add up exactly to the totals.
