Aadhar card needed for property or marriage registration

Aadhar card needed for property or marriage registration

 

In Delhi, if one want to register property or marriage, one need to have an Aadhar card or enrolment slip of Aadhar card which means you have applied for it. Department of revenue started this step making Aadhar card or enrolment slip necessary for all its 20 services in Delhi.


In the services registration of property, marriage, domicile SC/ST certificates includes.

The applicants don’t know about the new rule and who visit to the offices of the deputy commissioners on 1 January felt cheated and shocked to hear about the new rule. There are almost 25% of the population in the capital, Delhi, who haven’t applied for Aadhar card and many of them who have applied, are yet to receive the card.


According to revenue secretary Mr. Dharampal, all the services which are offered by the revenue department need Aadhar card or enrolment slip for getting any one of the service from January 2013. If the applicant hasn’t Aadhar card or enrolment slip, the department will not get the facility.


The authority will get stricter in coming months. According to the department, a person must furnish the UID number after furnished the enrolment slip in six month. All those case will be rejected if the UID card will not produce in six months.

This is one step ahead of making ADHAR compulsory for Delhites at least.

This is real invasion of privacy.  See the Data Sharing policy and Open Government platform.

Under the relevant provisions of Aadhar and UID, the date can be shared under orders of competent court.  But competent court is not defined.  An officer of the rank of Joint Secretary can decide whether to divulge or not.  Thus collecting biometric data and sharing without consent of party is illegal.  Moreover most of the companies doing the work have overseas limbs and they will be forced to divulge data.

Government saying that Aadhar is not compulsory but making it applicable to various schemes is illegal.  WP(C) 494 of 2012 is pending in Hon'ble Apex Court.  Till its disposal, such proceedings by Governments are not in good spirit. 

Why should an Indian Citizen give biometric data to Government when it can be shared by the Government without his consent..

When I sent an email to Open Government Platform seeking clarification regarding sharing of biometric data collected by state, I got an evasive reply.
