Aadhaar biometric info may be used for passports

MUMBAI: The Unique Identification Authority of India is in talks with the Union external affairs ministry to link the Aadhaar card to the passport issuing process to make it simpler.

"Biometric information is already captured for the unique ID cards. It means people who use their UID card for KYC (Know Your Customer) can skip the queue for biometrics at the passport centre," said a senior official from UIDAI. The Aadhaar card is already valid address and identity proof for passports.

In a workshop organized on Monday to push the e-KYC service flagged off in May, officials said it aims to integrate and simplify the data accumulation and verification needed for a series of services like getting a new SIM card, passport or bank account.

The e-KYC allows individuals to authorize service providers to receive an electronic copy of their proof of identity and address that was given for the UID card. Only demographic information (name, address, date of birth, gender and mobile number) collected during Aadhaar enrolment will be shared at the request of and/or with the consent of the Aadhaar user. The person can authorize UIDAI to release the KYC data either in person (through biometric authentication) or online through a one-time password (that can be sent to a phone number or email).

"The department of revenue has notified e-KYC as a valid KYC process. This means agencies that subscribe to this format of KYC can make it easy for their new customers. The whole process can be made paperless," said UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani at the workshop in Bandra aimed at the banking and telecom sectors.

The merits of this service include easy-to-keep records that are cost-effective and non-disputable. The transactions can be tracked in case of any query, explained an official.

So far Maharashtra has received over 6 crore Aadhaar cards that cover more than 80% of the city population.

Letter issued to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w issue of clarification on merger of Inspector Posts and ASPs cadre.

No. GS/AIAIASP/1/2012                                            dated      18/08/2013

To,

Ms P Gopinath,

Director General,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi 110 001.

Subject  : Minutes of the meeting taken by Member (Personnel) regarding  restructuring of Inspector Posts cadre.

Ref.       : Director (SR) letter No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 6^th September, 2012 & No.  02/02/2012-SR dated 17^th April, 2012.

Respected Madam,           

              
In response to Directorate’s requisition of letter calling final view point of the Association on merger issue, it is submitted that this Association sought some clarification mentioned therein so as to discuss the same amongst our members before arriving at final conclusion. Unfortunately despite issue of repeated reminders no attention seems to have been paid at Directorate level towards above said letters.            

At the same time no importance is being bestowed to IP/ASP cadre and their demands, may it be case of Grade Pay, fixation of pay under higher responsibility, merger or other career progression. These pending issues concerning our cadre are enhancing the sense of discontentment.

It is therefore urged to kindly look in to this vital issue personally and arrange to provide demanded clarification which is otherwise also binding on association before we go ahead on this sensitive issue. This will enshrine interest both the Association and Department as well. The Association has no objection if the matter is to be discussed in the meeting only for which next meeting as per convenience of members may kindly be ordered to fix. The Association will look forward positive response of the Department.

Hoping for favorable action and line in reply.  

Yours sincerely, 

 

(Vilas Ingale)
