MUMBAI: In addition to other benefits linked to the Aadhar card, the government is considering linking a resident’s driving license as well. Currently, an Aadhar card (UID) is linked to benefits such as scholarships, pensions, LPG identification, and job cards.
In the event that a resident violates a traffic rule, officials can track the person’s details and check records to see if the license is still valid or if the person is well enough to be driving.
| Transport officials met today with Jayant Banthia, Chief Secretary in Mantralaya. All states are planning to link the Aadhar card so that details of the resident can be found even when traveling outside of their state. Access would be quick in the event of an accident. Petitions are already being reviewed to prevent the Aadhar card from being linked to other benefits for fear of fraud or mismanagement of the resident’s confidential information. | |
