UIDAI Provides Various Modes Of Authentication

Aadhaar Linkage: UIDAI provides various modes of authentication

Aadhaar Linkage

Aadhaar Authentication using fingerprint depends upon number of factors viz. quality of fingerprint, network connectivity, placement of finger etc. However, few senior citizens, persons engaged in manual labour or individuals with specific disabilities may face difficulties in fingerprint authentication.

UIDAI provides various modes of authentication viz Demographic, Biometric (Finger Print + IRIS), OTP and Multi-factor authentication. The Service Provider may choose suitable mode(s) of authentication.

As per para 14(1)(i) of Aadhaar (Authentication) Regulation 2016, a requesting entity has to implement exception-handing mechanisms and back-up identity authentication mechanisms to ensure seamless provision of authentication services to Aadhaar number holders.

Further, DBT Mission, Cabinet Secretariat vide their letter dated 19.12.2017 has issued guidelines on exception handling for use of Aadhaar in benefit schemes of Government, which inter-alia has stipulated the following mechanism in respect of cases where Aadhaar authentication fails:

i.Departments and Bank Branches may make provisions for IRIS scanners along with fingerprint scanners, wherever feasible.

ii.In cases of failure due to lack of connectivity, offline authentication system such as QR code bases coupons, Mobile based OTP or TOTP may be explored.

iii.In all cases where online authentication is not feasible, the benefit/ service may be provided on the basis of possession of Aadhaar, after duly recording the transaction in register, to be reviewed and audited periodically.

Proposal Of Linking Aadhaar For Various Electrol Services

Linkage of Aadhaar with Voter ID Cards

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), under the Ministry, only issues Aadhaar numbers to the residents of the country, and provides authentication services. It is up to the Departments/Ministries/ Agencies concerned to decide on the use of Aadhaar for providing services/ benefits to the people as per the provisions of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016.

The Election Commission launched National Electoral Roll Purification& Authentication Programme (NERPAP), 2015 on 3rd March 2015 in all States/Union Territories with major objective of linking of Aadhaar with Electoral Roll database. In August,2015 when collection, feeding and seeding of Aadhaar number were in full swing, Hon’ble Supreme Court, while considering WP(C) No 494 of 2012 titled Justice Shri K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) & Another V/s Union of India & Others), inter alia passed the following interim order on 11th August, 2015:-

“————— 3. The Unique Identification Number or the Aadhaar card will not be used by the respondents for any purpose other than the PDS Scheme and in particular for the purpose of distribution of foodgrains, etc. and cooking fuel, such as kerosene. The Aadhaar card may also be used for the purpose of the LPG Distribution Scheme. —————— ”.

As the Election Commission was one of the respondents in the matter, it had to suspend all activities relating to collection/ feeding/ seeding of Aadhaar number, being undertaken under NERPAP.

The Election Commission has filed Application for Implement (I.A.No. 51252 of 2017) and Application for Directions (I.A No. 51253 of 2017) in the matter on 4th July 2017, before Hon’ble Supreme Court praying to permit the Election Commission to obtain Aadhaar details from the voters who are willing to submit or have submitted it voluntarily in order to link the same with the Voter Electoral Database.

The matter is presently sub-judice. As the matter is still pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the Election Commission has not reviewed its instructions mentioned above. Based on the outcome of the case, the Election Commission will consider the proposal of linking Aadhar number for various electoral services, at appropriate time.

This was stated by the Minister of Electronics and Information Technology in a written reply to a question in the Parliament on 9.3.2018.

UIDAI - No Need to Print Aadhaar On Plastic/PVC Card Or Laminated

Aadhaar – No Need to Print it on Plastic/PVC Card or Laminated

Ministry of Electronics & IT

Plastic or PVC Aadhaar Smart Card is not usable: UIDAI

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said today in a statement that the Plastic or PVC Aadhaar smart cards are often not usable as the QR code commonly becomes dysfunctional during such unauthorised printing at some vendor/shop. Also, there could be a possibility of sharing Aadhaar details (personal sensitive demographic information) without informed consent with some devious elements.

UIDAI reiterated that Aadhaar letter or its cutaway portion or downloaded versions of Aadhaar on ordinary paper or mAadhaar are perfectly valid and people should not yearn for the so-called Aadhaar smart card as it may make them fall to the ploys of some unscrupulous elements who are printing Aadhaar on a plastic/PVC sheet and charging anywhere between Rs.50 to Rs.300 or more.

UIDAI has asked people to keep away from such elements/shops/vendors. Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO, UIDAI said, “So-called Aadhaar Smart card is totally unnecessary and a waste as during such printing its QR code often becomes dysfunctional. The Aadhaar card or the downloaded Aadhaar card printed on ordinary paper or mAadhaar is perfectly valid for all kind of uses.”

“If a person has a paper Aadhaar card, there is absolutely no need to get his/her Aadhaar card laminated or obtain a plastic Aadhaar card or so called smart Aadhaar card by paying money. There is no concept such as smart or plastic Aadhaar card”, added Dr. Pandey.

In case a person loses his Aadhaar card, he can download his Aadhaar card free of cost from https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. The print out of the downloaded Aadhaar card, even in black and white form, is as valid as the original Aadhaar letter sent by UIDAI. There is absolutely no need to print it on plastic/PVC card or get it laminated.

CEO, UIDAI advised people to be watchful for the protection of their privacy and recommended not to share their Aadhaar number or personal details to unauthorized agencies for getting it laminated, or printed on plastic card.

UIDAI has cautioned unauthorized Agencies not to collect Aadhaar information from general public for printing of Aadhaar card as collecting such information or unauthorized printing of Aadhaar card or aiding such persons in any manner amounts to a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment under Indian Penal Code and Aadhaar Act, 2016.
