One Nation One Card !

We feel insecure in producing our personal documents as one can fetch substantial information using Voter ID, PAN card, Driving licence, Ration card, Bank Passbook, and Aadhaar card.

“Aadhaar” was Introduced as a “Holy documentations”, some of the people even started celebrating their forgotten birthdays according to this “Panchang”.I was shocked to see when One confirmed his real name with Aadhaar in account opening process. 

Linking of Aadhaar with other identities made it more efficient, it became a tool to unearth people’s wealth, It provided efficient, transparent and targeted delivery of subsidies, benefits and services. by plugging leakage in the pipeline through which government sends ad to the people, which was the primary use at its primitive stage. Aadhaar enabled Banking transaction though Banking Correspondence and banking kiosk made financial transactions easier.

It impressed everyone on it’s inception, Customer identity could be authenticated by the private players like E commerce, and social networking, NBFC,Companies started providing SIM card just with a thumb impression, e- wallet, Digital platforms like were on their tow to join the race of Banking, when Airtel became a payment bank it opened 23 Lacks accounts without consent of the customers but due to aadhaar linkage government subsidies of those customers directed to their unidentified payment bank accounts which rose their ear, Later RBI Imposed penalty of 50 million for not adhering to the KYC norms. It had given a ray of hope to banking system providing an Unique identity, somewhere it replaced passbook too. but its wrong use by some of the companies led to the intervention of supreme court which further limited it’s use to government subsidies only. Also UIDAI stopped usage of e-sign services which allows customer to digitally sign on documents.

Than the cabinet passed an ordinance allowing  private companies to use Aadhaar, as a kyc on voluntary basis without storing Aadhaar No. It became an another identity beside Voter and Pan card rather a Unique identity. for many it was just an identity which is to be updated regularly.

Although Amazon Knows where you live, Google knows where you travel, Netflex has your credit card information, but the thing they have asked you for the permission first.

An Aadhaar of my dream have blocks like in palates, different blocks for different identities we have, for example a block colored in blue denotes someone have driving licence with him, detailed information of that particular identity would be stored in that colored block in the form of QR Code, RTO would have a device by which he would be able to fetch the detail if needed.
