A majority of 21 wins !
=================
I
believe Aadhar related case in Supreme Court was filed by 21 petitioners
They
wanted Aadhar ID scheme to be declared unconstitutional and struck down
altogether
Hon
( ex ) CJI , Shri Dipak Misraji did not think Aadhar ID, by itself was
unconstitutional
But
he said , it could be used only for providing certain government “ services “
where direct transfer of money was a major factor
SC
ruled that private service providers ( eg : Banks and Mobile Service Providers
) cannot ask for Aadhar ID for KYC ( Know Your Customer ) . They will need to
use,
#
Either some offline paper based documents (
Passport – Ration Card etc ) , or
#
Some modified “ online “ process which does not require to reveal
Aadhar Number
I
call this ( directive ) , a victory of the rich and
vocal “ majority “ of 21 PERSONS , over a
poor and silent “ minority “ of 50 CRORE mobile phone users !
I
suspect that the rest of the World is thinking :
“
Ah , these Indians !
They
have mastered the art of making things COMPLEX , out of matters SIMPLE “
HERE ARE PROOFS :
To
summarize :
· Hide
Aadhar Number / Date of Birth / Biometrics
But
provide :
· Name
/ Address / Photo
Process
:
· Log
into UIDAI web site
· Download
your “ Masked
Aadhar ID “ [ click to find ZERO results ! ]
· Submit
it to your Mobile service Provider
COAI has sent a letter to telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan , saying :
“……a return to paper-based process should not be an option as it
would reverse the steps taken by the industry towards Digital India and result
in wastage of infrastructure and investment “
So , what does COAI
suggest as alternatives ?
· Entering various fields in the customer acquisition form electronically on the operator’s app
· Capturing GPS coordinates while
capturing the customer’s live photo at the point of sale of the mobile connection
· Watermarking the photo , and
· Assigning a unique operator code so that
the photo cannot be copied or re-used.
In
the meantime , Shri
Manoj Sinha says :
“ The government will fully respect the SC order
and, within the legal purview, the government will also take care of consumers
”
Dear Shri sinhaji,
I do hope your directive to the TELCOs will be
such that :
· It
will enable the TELCOs to continue to offer their services , not only to the
NEW users , but also to the CURRENT ( 50 Crore ) users, without any interruption
· It
will spare the users ( current + new ) , the AGONY of going through the alternatives
proposed by UIDAI and COAI ( be ready for ONE YEAR disruption
! )
Even
the Supreme Court would be happy to accept your
interpretation ( of its order ) that a user has every right to give his
Aadhar ID to ANYONE , as
long as it is VOLUNTARILY given !
No
one need question the user’s motive ( simplifying life ), as long as he sends
to his Service Provider , a SMS / E Mail , as per draft provided in :
Additional
Input :
Why
not an “ Option Plan “ for users ?
