After bank accounts, PAN, govt plans to link Aadhaar with driving licence

Haryana, Sep 15 (Deccan Chronicle): After PAN, bank accounts and welfare schemes, the government is now planning to link driving licence with Aadhaar.

Speaking at the Digital Haryana Summit 2017, Union Minister for Law and IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad said the government is planning to link the two national IDs. “We are planning to link driving licence to Aadhaar. I have had a word with Gadkari ji (Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari) regarding this,” he said.

This statement comes days after the media reported that the government is also planning to link the 12-digit unique identification number with SIM cards.

“Aadhaar is safe and secure. It is a tool for good governance and empowerment,” said Prasad. He added that linking of bank accounts, which needs to be done by December 31, 2017, will help in checking money laundering.

Elaborating on the benefits of digitisation, Prasad said “Digital governance is good governance. Digital delivery is fast delivery”.

Meanwhile, Aadhaar continues to be a tool used by the government for availing various social welfare schemes, as well as for curbing criminal activities like identity duplication, black money hoarding, tax evasion, terrorism, etc.

    Need of the hour is to link Aadhar with property papers and that would never happen as many big whales and king makers are involved in this.

    Linking all documents to Aadhar may eliminate duplication and fraud.
    It has been found that fraudsters obtain Mobile connections with somebody else documents.
    Therefore, aadhar verification through OTP should be made compulsory for new mobile connections, Bank A/c. opening etc.
    Linking Aadhar with driving license is good!
    Surprisingly Govt has not taken up Voter ID Linking also with Aadhar!!! Voter ID should be merged with Aadhar!

    Agree.

    But, prioritize aadhar to voter id link first. Don't wait for 2019 election to get elected through fake voters as happened in the past.

    Why you are interested only in milking citizens till death when you don't give any social security to them ?

    When government trusts its citizens, people also trust the government. Else they treat it as fake & biased.
