Mandatory
? NO ! Voluntary ? why NOT ?
===============================
Thank you Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji,
For
buying my above argument in relation to voluntary use of e-KYC through Aadhar for mobile connections
Context
:
Extract :
The government
is actively considering amendments to the Telegraph Act and the Prevention of
Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to provide legal backing for mobile numbers and
bank accounts to be linked to Aadhaar on a voluntary basis.
============================================
Ever
since the Supreme Court said ,
“
Mobile Service Providers cannot “ insist “ on Aadhar lnkage “
I
have been asking ,
“
But what if the user wants to supply Aadhar ID on a voluntary
basis ? In such a case , why should either the Government or the Court , object
? “
So
, in the past 2 months , I sent many emails to the Cabinet Ministers and the
Supreme Court
The
last one read as follows :
=======================================
e-KYC : “ Voluntary “ is the expedient
Here is how Wikipedia defines
“ Expedient “ :
adjective
(of an action) convenient
and practical although possibly improper or
immoral.
"either side could break
the agreement if it were expedient to do so"
noun
a means of attaining an end,
especially one that is convenient but possibly
improper or immoral.
"the current policy is a
political expedient"
CONTEXT
Following news appeared in
today’s Economic Times :
Extract :
Telecom operators are pushing the government to explore legal
ways to bring back Aadhaar based customer verification, by either approaching
the Supreme Court for allowing voluntary use of the unique 12-digit number for the electronic know your
customer (e-KYC) process or bringing in a legislative framework.
MY TAKE
Bringing in a “ legislative frame-work “ will take months . May be
longer considering that all MPs are terribly busy with the forthcoming
elections
There is nothing “ improper or immoral “ in a user voluntarily
providing his Aadhar ID for e-KYC
I hope COAI , DoT , TELCOs and the Supreme Court found time to
read my following emails ,
suggesting that there is nothing illegal in VOLUNTARY use
of Aadhar ID by anyone for any purpose :
