Driving Licence to be linked with Aadhaar
By: Tupaki Desk | 15 Sep 2017 12:46 PM GMT
Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad Today gave a hint that Centre would pass a rule to link Aadhaar and Driving Licence. 'We are planning to link Driving Licence to Aadhaar, I had discussed with Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari regarding this matter,' he told.
Ravi Shankar Prasad opined: 'Aadhaar is a Digital Identity, not Physical Identity. Linking Driving Licence to Aadhaar is like confirmation of Physical Identity through Digital Identity'. He, however, didn't mention any time frame for the completion of this exercise.
In August this year, Supreme Court ruled that privacy is a fundamental right. It will be passing judgement on whether Aadhaar violates Privacy in November this year. After Bank Accounts, PAN and Mobile, Centre is keen to link Driving Licence to Aadhaar. Using Digital Technology effectively leads to more transparency in the system.
