Can you integrate DigiLocker, API Setu and Aadhaar?

DigiLocker and API Setu, yes — issuance, fetch and verification are the routine parts. Aadhaar is different: authentication and eKYC run through a licensed AUA or KUA, so the department's own authorisation determines what is possible. We build to that boundary rather than around it, and where a department is not authorised, DigiLocker-based verification usually meets the same need.

What does STQC certification involve?

A security and quality audit against a defined checklist before a system goes live on government infrastructure, covering application security, documentation and process evidence. The practical implication is that it is a schedule item, not a formality — the artefacts it asks for have to be produced during the build, and retrofitting them after a system is ready adds weeks nobody planned for.

Do you deploy on MeitY-empanelled cloud or on-premise?

Both, decided by the data rather than by preference. Where a department's data classification or a tender's own terms require it, deployment goes on-premise or into a MeitY-empanelled provider inside the specified region. That constraint shapes architecture from the first week, which is why it belongs in discovery rather than in a pre-go-live security review.

Sector

Government & PSU

Citizen and institutional platforms engineered to public-sector security and audit standards.

All industries

The context

Public-sector platforms answer to the hardest reviewers: auditors, regulators, and citizens at scale. IRFC Invest taught us the discipline — security review as a phase, audit trails as architecture, and confidentiality as a habit. We bring that posture to every institutional engagement.

What usually breaks

Citizen services queued behind manual verification steps
Legacy departmental systems that predate their documentation
Audit requirements met by scramble instead of by design
Vendor lock-in on platforms the institution can't inspect

Systems for government & PSU

Citizen & investor platforms

Self-service portals and apps at institutional security posture — IRFC Invest standard.

Departmental digitisation

Workflow systems with the approval chains, registers, and audit trails governance requires.

Data sovereignty architecture

On-premise and MeitY-empanelled cloud deployments with complete data residency.

Build–Operate–Transfer

Platforms delivered with trained teams and full handover — no perpetual dependency.

e-Governance service delivery

Citizen services with the service levels a notification commits to — application, tracking, grievance and appeal — built so the department can evidence timelines rather than assert them.

India Stack integration

DigiLocker issuance and verification, API Setu data exchange, and Aadhaar-based verification where the department holds the authorisation to use it.

The rules that shape the build.

Not legal advice — the specific obligations that change what the software has to do, and that are cheapest to design for at the start.

GFR 2017 and GeM procurement

How the contract is awarded shapes what can be delivered and when — and it is unforgiving about documentation.

CVC guidelines

Vigilance requirements around tendering, change and audit trails.

STQC certification

Government applications frequently require STQC audit before go-live; designing for it afterwards is expensive.

MeitY policies and data localisation

Cloud empanelment and where data may reside.

DPDP Act 2023

With the state exemptions that apply, which are narrower than commonly assumed.

What we integrate with

Nothing new arrives into an empty building. These are the systems that usually have to keep working, and talking to them is normally the larger half of the engagement.

NIC-hosted applications
Legacy departmental databases
e-Office and file movement
Aadhaar and DigiLocker interfaces
Paper-first processes

What this sector measures

Citizen TAT
Service turnaround: Audit ready
Documentation completeness: Uptime
Against the SLA in the contract

Services that come up most in government & PSU.

Legacy Modernization

Escape aging systems without betting the business on a big-bang rewrite.

Security & Compliance

Security engineered into the build — and audited like an attacker would.

Custom Software Engineering

Bespoke systems for the processes that make your business yours.

Managed Cloud Support

SLA-backed operations for the platforms we build — and the ones we didn't.

Questions about government & PSU

Yes — we support tender-based engagement, documentation requirements, and the compliance posture PSU procurement expects. Write to us with the tender reference for a capability response.
