1) Let's look at the journey of Aadhaar so far
On January 28, 2009, the Planning Commission issued a notification for the formation of a UIDAI to produce a unique number identity card. Infosys founder Nandan Nilekani was made its chairman.
In September 2010, the government experimentally launched the Aadhaar scheme in some rural areas of Maharashtra. In December, the government introduced the National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010 in Parliament. Subsequently, it was referred to the Standing Committee on Financial Affairs to prepare a report on the Bill.
By September 2011, 100 million people had Aadhaar cards made. In December 2011, the Standing Committee presented its report in Parliament. In this report, the committee questioned the UIDAI bill. The committee had asked that how will the privacy and sensitive information of the people be taken care of under this project?
On 7 February 2012, UIDAI started online verification of Aadhaar. Subsequently, on 26 November, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme for Aadhaar-linked accounts. On November 30, 2012, Karnataka High Court retired Judge KS Puttaswamy filed a PIL in the court. Some other people also reached the court against Aadhaar. Judge KS Puttaswamy argued in the court that taking biometric data for Aadhaar is a violation of people's privacy.
On 1 January 2013, the Aadhaar project was implemented in 51 districts of the country. On 23 September, the Supreme Court said that some departments have issued circulars mandating Aadhaar. Despite this, people who do not make Aadhaar cards should not suffer any loss due to this. On 9 October, the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) introduced the Aadhaar based payment system.
In March 2014, UIDAI chairman Nilekani resigned from his post. After the formation of the new government, in June 2014, the IT department convened a meeting of state secretaries to get feedback on the Aadhaar project. After this, on 5 July, Prime Minister Modi announced to continue the Aadhaar project. Meanwhile, on March 24, while hearing the Aadhaar project, the Supreme Court said in its judgment that in the absence of an Aadhaar number, a person will not be denied any facility to which he is entitled in other conditions. Government departments should amend their forms and circulars to show that Aadhaar is not mandatory.
In March 2015, the government launched the Aadhaar-linked DigiLocker service. Under this service, people can save a scan copy of their document on Clyde. On March 16, 2015, the Supreme Court said that we hope that the Central Government and the State Governments will follow the court order dated 23 September 2013. On August 11, 2015, the Supreme Court limited the requirement of Aadhaar to only subsidy of LPG and ration. During this time, the court said that the Government of India should campaign extensively in radio, TV and print media that it is not mandatory for a citizen to get an Aadhaar card made.
