Context :
DigiLocker
2.0: Load more documents in Digital India's flagship app /
ET / 05 Feb 2023
Extract :
DigiLocker has been the flagship app
of the Government of India’s digital initiatives, Digital India. In her budget
speech on Wednesday, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to extend its
scope, allowing more documents to be made available in the digital wallet to help more fintech
services access and leverage the platform.
For starters, it makes the whole KYC process
simpler and works as a one-stop solution for updating
identity.
The app will use Aadhaar as the
foundational identity and PAN
as a common identifier for all digital systems of government agencies.
The new version will
support enterprise-level DigiLockers for MSMEs ( micro small and medium businesses),
trusts and other entities. The idea for this enterprise-level facility is to
expand the scope of DigiLocker,
which in turn could help fintech innovation services.
Companies will be able
to alter important documents and the changes will be
reflected in all the documents linked to the DigiLocker.
The platform already
supports 600 types of documents and is used by more
than 146 million users, as per data revealed by the government.
The service accepts documents from more than 2,300 issuers and contains over 5.6
billion issued documents. This is already quite a vast expanse that the app
covers. But there’s more in store.
For individuals, additional documents will be part of DigiLocker.
However, the
government hasn’t made clear which documents will be a part of the expansion.
But some recent updates do hint at what could be coming.
For instance, the Karnataka Police lately
started accepting digital versions of applicants’
proof documents using the DigiLocker
service for its recruiting process.
This makes it easier
to obtain legitimate documents directly from the source and eliminates the need for
manual verification
The recently launched DigiYatra app also works in
integration with the DigiLocker
app.
MY TAKE :
I am One , I will become Many ………………[ 06 Jan 2020 ]
Where I proposed :
Ø How about a card to replace all the
above-mentioned cards ?
Ø Time has come to dispense with all physical cards and merge all of those into, one VIRTUAL CARD
Ø How can the Central Government go about replacing ALL physical cards
with just one
VIRTUAL card ?
Ø The method of “ merging “ of all identifiers [ cards ] , must NOT require a
citizen
to fill up any FORM ,
Following
is my suggestion :
# Central Govt to launch a online portal called, www.SUIIC.gov.in ( Single
Unified
Identity for Indian
# By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD
ISSUING
AGENCIES to upload their
“ Card Related Databases “ onto SUIIC web
server and continue to do so
DAILY for new additions to their databases
# SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning- Big Data Analytics etc., to
merge /
pertaining to all kinds of Cards / unique IDENTIFIERS, issued by any
entity, to any citizen
These will
include Mobile Service Providers and E Mail ID providers
# This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each citizen,
and
YUP
( Your Unique Profile )
YUP
( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE
CARD which
replaces
all CARDS
# YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC web
server
# Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ), open it
on his
a SELFIE of his own FACE
# The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE
IMAGE
# SUIIC will embed into
the FACE PHOTO, all data of all the CARDS ever
issued to that person ( using STEGANOGRAPHY ), and send it back to
the
# Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the
Cards
reveal the actual Physical Card embedded. Touching any item, will
reveal the actual Physical Card
# This will enable that citizen
to EDIT his personal data online and click
SUBMIT
# Anytime required in future,
that citizen can show that YUP photo to any
party
# There will be no compulsion for any citizen to
use YUP . He may continue
using his Physical Cards, if he
so desires
==================================================
This is a very broad “ CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK “ – and certainly not
comprehensive by any standard
Eg :
Going beyond merging / aggregating / unifying, all existing physical
cards belonging to a person,
what about :
#
Enabling him to use YUP to
create ( for the first time ), an altogether different
card ?
# Enabling a person to create a
new Voter Card, upon attaining the age of 18 ?
With
Regards,
