Aadhar Data Delete ? Simple Solution #AadharVerdict

Aadhar verdict might have settled some issues but , quite likely , it has also raised some new ones

Following is one example :

“ Corporate entities like banks and telecom service providers cannot ask for customers’ Aadhar ID for e-KYC “

OK , so new customers will need to furnish some other proof for residential address ( who decides , which ? – and using Digital Locker  ? )

But what about one billion current customers ?

They have already given their Aadhar ID. 

Are the service providers required to “ delete “ these and send a SMS / email to those customers as follows ? [ there is no clarity re this in the judgment ]

“ Dear Customer ,

You have already given to us , your Aadhar ID , which we may be now required to delete and replace it with some other ID ( - we are writing to the Hon supreme court for a clarification )

We could accept your driving license / ration card / senior citizen card / PAN card etc , provided these carry your current address / name / gender /  DOB / photo and Finger – Iris scan

But unfortunately, these do not carry your biometric data !

That leaves you with the following options :

#  1

Forget getting our service from XYZ date

#  2

Go to our nearest office ( of course, with your Aadhar card and a copy of our latest bill ) and manually fill up our new “ Know Your Customer “ form , providing details of whatever different ID you choose , along with 3 photo-copies of such ID ( for us to upload onto our server ) . 

We have also made arrangement for the necessary instruments to scan your finger and your iris

Caution : Bring along your lunch and bedding since the queues could be long !

#  3 

Just send us an email as follows :

To  :  Our Email address ( eg: aadhar@Airtel.com  )

Cc  :  supremecourt@nic.in / Cabinet Ministers (cabinetministers@recruitguru.com)

Sub :  Do not delete my Aadhar ID / Acceptance of OPTION  # 3

  =====================

“  Dear Airtel ( service provider name ),

   This is in response to your email asking me to go to your nearest office to fill in a new e-KYC form along with submitting of an alternate ID [  Option # 2  ]

Although I do have such alternate ID , I wish to avoid the hassle of furnishing a new one

I therefore permit you [ Option # 3 ], to continue using my already furnished Aadhar ID and continue to provide your services without insisting on alternate ID

I am giving this permission to you on a voluntary basis , without any coercion on your part ( and free volition on my part ) and absolve you of any responsibility in respect of any breach of your database , resulting in any misuse of my private data by unauthorized persons / entities , who might hack into your server

I am giving this permission on an understanding that the Supreme Court , in its recent verdict , has permitted use of Aadhar ID for services to be rendered by private parties , if given on a voluntary basis

Yours

ABC

My coordinates are as follows :

·         Aadhar ID number is……………….

·         Address …………………………………..

·         Customer No ( as per bill )……..

Dear Service Providers [  Banks / MSP s etc  ],

Since deleting Aadhar ID of your existing customers and asking them to furnish an alternate ID , would cause nothing less than a CHAOS , causing you a loss of thousands of crore of rupees and enormous hardships to your customers , you may want to consider sending out such an E Mail to your customers ( - with whatever changes your highly paid lawyers might suggest )

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain , since 100 % of your existing customers will choose the third option  !

And , in the process , you would have established your bonafide to abide by the Supreme Court verdict ( - what with a billion email copies flooding the mail box of the court and all the Cabinet Ministers ! )
