Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Universal Payments ID : How about Unique Personal ID ?

 


 

Context :

Tata Co Readying Universal Payments Solution   /  ET -  25 March 2021

 

Extract :

Ø  Ferbine Payments, working on a Universal Payments ID that will replace thumb-backed transaction and also a phone-based PoS system

Ø  The plan is to build a universal payments ID for EVERY INDIAN that would completely do away with the need of Aadhar readers

Ø  The plan is to have ONE UNIVERSAL PoS where merchant can accept payments on ANY PHONE

Ø  There must be solutions beyond the Smartphones for the rural customers; UPI is still complex for them

Ø  The consortium also has  plans to build SOUND-BASED payments solutions for those who don’t own a smartphone

=================================================

 Congratulations TATA , for making a beginning

Could this “ small step for TATA “ someday become a “ giant step for India “ ?

By merging into ONE single Personal Number, all of the following Numbers ( Personal Identifiers ) :

Ø  Aadhar No ( I believe there is provision for generating Virtual Aadhar Number also )

Ø  PAN

Ø  Census-NPR – CAA numbers

Ø  Credit-Debit Card nos

Ø  Ration Card no

Ø  Passport no

Ø  Driving License no

Ø  Senior Citizen no

Ø  National Health Card No ( Ayushman Bharat Card No )

Ø  Voter No

Ø  Employee No / Employer No

Ø  Bank Account Numbers ( different for each bank )

Ø  Insurance Policy Number

Ø  Social Security No ( PF – PPF accounts )


By no means, this list is comprehensive. It is just illustrative, with new numbers getting added every month, by all kinds of Govt Agencies / Depts and Private Sector companies from whom, I buy goods or services  ( like above-described Payment Service )


I urge TATA to consider the desirability / feasibility of  my following proposal ( sent as e-mail to our Cabinet Ministers / Policy Makers ) :

Ø  I am One , I will become Many …………………..[ 06 Jan 2020 ]

 

Extract :

Ø  Finance Minister, ( late ) Shri Jaitley had made following statement in the Lok Sabha on 22 March 2017 :

 

“ A STAGE MAY COME THAT THE UNIQUE IDENTITY WILL BECOME THE ONLY CARD “

 

My Proposal :     

 

   Ø    Central Govt to launch a online portal called,

                   www.SUIIC.gov.in (  Single Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )


       Ø    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

                       

        Ø     SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning - Big Data Analytics etc.,  to merge /

               collate all kinds of structured  / unstructured 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 , enter his mobile number / E Mail ID and take a SELFIE

                  of his own FACE

                      

            Ø     The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE IMAGE

                    onto SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that person

                      

             Ø      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 owner’s mobile phone

                      

              Ø      Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the

                      Cards / Identifiers which have been embedded . Touching any item,

                      will reveal the actual Physical Card

                      

              Ø     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 Cards, if he so desires

Ø  Aadhar : The Anchor ………………………[ 08 Jan 2021 ]

 

     Extract :

           Dear Shri RaviShankar Prasadji,

          Congratulations for initiating this FIRST STEP to integrate “ Backend Data “

          of all databases

         I urge you,


      Ø   Not to restrict this exercise to only “ Address Verification “


      Ø   Extend it to attain “ ONE CITIZEN, ONE CARD “ to eliminate ALL

           OTHER PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS


=================================================

 

As far as SOUND BASED payment solution is concerned, here is what I suggested :


Ø  When BHIM is here, can ARJUN be far away ?............[ 30 Dec 2016 ]


       Extract :

 

       But, if BHIM has to obsolete Credit- Debit cards / Card Swiping

       Machines / Point of Sales ( PoS ) machines / ATMs etc , and truly become THE

       BIGGEST  WONDER OF THE WORLD, then it would have to be SPEECH

       ENABLED , as suggested in my following email

       

       

      Just ask Sundar Pichai , Sam Pitroda , Satya Nadela , Sachin Katti , Pranav

      Mistry , Sanjay Sarma , Nandan Nilekani etc , if they will help implement the

      following :

      

     *  Buyer  buys something worth Rs 100 from a shopkeeper

     *  Buyer and the Seller , look into their own mobile-cameras ( of  smart

         phones loaded with M-Rup ) for biometric Aadhar identification / linked to

         Jan Dhan a/c 

        

    *  Seller speaks in his mobile : " Muze Sau Rupiah dedo "


    *  Buyer speaks in his mobile : " Inko Sau Rupiah dedo "


    *  Message flashes in the mobile screen of Seller : 

       " Tumhare account-me Sau Rupiah Jamah ho gaya / GST bhi kaat ke Sarkar-

         ko bhej diya "

       

   *  Message flashes in the mobile screen of Buyer : 

       " Tumhare account-se , Sau Rupiah inko Bhej Diya . Abhi balance me teen

         sau sath rupiah bacha hai "

      

     I request all concerned, not to insult our engineers / scientists / geeks, by

     doubting if such SIMPLIFICATION ( based on day to day spoken language ) is

      possible

     

     Doubting Thomas may want to look up :

                   PILOT   {  http://www.waverlylabs.com/  }


    This is the only way rural India can bypass the Jurassic Age of Plastic Cards to

     usher into a CASH-LESS society !
