The biometric identity system is set for a revamp with new offline verification tools, non-intrusive approach

Aadhaar,the country’s extraordinary attempt to give every citizen a biometric identity, is set for a massive revamp with new offline verification tools and non-intrusive ways for people seeking to voluntarily use the 12-digit unique number for new bank accounts and mobile connections.

Aftera chaotic 2018, led by the landmark Supreme Court (SC) ruling on the constitutional validity of Aadhaar, the UIDAI’s efforts around offline modes, such as eAadhaar and QR code, that can leverage the unique ID without any access to biometrics or even revealing the 12-digit number, will gather pace in 2019.

Aadhaar touched multiple facets of people’s lives as it became the default identifier, until doubts emergedthat collection of biometric details could infringe on a citizen’s privacy rights. Then, the SC upheld the constitutional validity of the world’s largest biometric identification database, but spelt out its newlimitations.

Right to privacy

After last year’s assertion that Indians have a right to privacy, the apex court in September 2018 redefined the boundaries of the biometric authentication —Aadhaar can be used for payment of government benefits and taxation records but private companies were barred from accessing it.

In a4-1 judgement the SC held that Aadhaar will remain compulsory for the filing of Income Tax (IT) returns and allotment of Permanent Account Number (PAN).
