DigiYatra is India's paperless, contactless airport entry system using facial recognition. No more showing boarding passes and IDs at multiple checkpoints — your face is your boarding pass.
How DigiYatra Works
- Register once: Download the DigiYatra app, link your Aadhaar and create a facial ID
- Add your booking: The app automatically fetches your flight details via PNR
- At the airport: Walk up to the DigiYatra e-gate — facial scan replaces ID + boarding pass check
- Security to boarding: Your face is verified at each checkpoint automatically
- Data deleted: Your facial data is deleted 24 hours after your flight

Privacy & Safety FAQ
- Is my data safe? Yes — facial data is stored on YOUR phone, not on a central server. It's deleted 24 hours after your flight.
- Is it mandatory? No. DigiYatra is completely voluntary. Traditional ID + boarding pass is always available.
- Works without internet? You need internet to add your PNR initially. At the airport, it works via Bluetooth.
- What if recognition fails? You can always use traditional check — no penalty or delay.
