Piyush
Goyal calls for single identification number /
Indian Express / 23 Dec 2021
Extract :
Commerce minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday called for the
creation of a single identification number for businesses and individuals in
place of the existing system requiring several identification numbers, such as Aadhaar, PAN and
TAN, to make services available more quickly.
“ Ideas like a single number
are very logical. Right from Aadhaar, TAN, PAN and DIN number, we have so many
numbers, can we not bring in something like an American social security number
which covers so many things? ” Goyal said.
He added services like the DigiLocker and National Single Window
System should be combined to reduce the need for unnecessary repetition of work
for businesses.

following e-mails urging our Policy Makers to introduce this REFORM to make

How about a card to replace all the above-mentioned cards ?
( B.2 ) I
am One , I will become Many………………………… [ 06 Jan 2020 ]
Extract :
At the beginning of TIME , the Creator said :
एको अहम् बहुस्याम “ I am One , I will become Many “
In 21st century, that “ Creator’s Desire “, seems to be playing out in the
form of dozens of
IDENTIFIERS
– notwithstanding the misery of having to submit SAME
DATA again and again , to various State Agencies
There are dozens of such IDENTIFIER CARDS
How about making lives of Ordinary Citizen easy by having just ONE CARD
to replace all these cards ?
Time has come to dispense with all physical cards and merge all of those
into , one VIRTUAL CARD
How can the Central Government go about replacing ALL physical cards
with just one VIRTUAL card ?
If there is a “ Political Will “ ( - and followed by a one year long, debate
with all sections of the society
way , will emerge
As long as the debaters keep in mind the most important aspect of any
proposed method, viz :
The method of “ merging “ of all identifiers [ cards ] , must NOT require a
citizen to fill up any FORM ,
Following is my suggestion :
Ø Central
Govt to launch an online portal called,
( Single Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )
Ø By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD
ISSUING AGENCIES to
upload
onto SUIIC web server and continue to do so DAILY for new
additions to their databases
Ø SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning - Big Data Analytics etc.,
to merge / collate all kinds of
databases 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
Ø This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each
citizen, and named :
YUP ( Your Unique Profile )
YUP ( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE
CARD which replaces all CARDS
Ø YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC
web server
Ø Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ) ,
open it on his smart phone ,
and take a SELFIE of his own FACE
Ø The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE
IMAGE onto SUIIC
database
person
Ø SUIIC will embed into the FACE PHOTO , all data of all the
CARDS ever issued to that
person (
and send it back to the owner’s mobile phone
Ø Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the
Cards / Identifiers
which have
Touching any item, will reveal the actual Physical Card
This will enable that citizen to EDIT his personal data online and
click SUBMIT
Ø Anytime required in future, that citizen can show that YUP photo
to any party
Ø There will be no compulsion for any citizen to use YUP . He may
continue using his
Physical
[ B.3 ]……How
many NATIONAL databases of Indian Citizen ?....[ 03 Jan 2021 ]
[ B.4 ]…Universal
Payments ID : How about Unique Personal ID ? [ 08 Apr 2021 ]
