Making Aadhar Card Mandatory
for Digital India Programme Schemes
Aadhaar Card is
not mandatory for availing benefits in the schemes under Digital India
Programme, concern has been raised regarding storage of Aadhaar card data. But
a well-designed and robust data security system is in place. The architecture
of Aadhaar ecosystem has been designed to ensure data security, privacy,
non-duplication, data integrity and related aspects. Additionally, security
audits are also conducted. A multilayer approach is adopted in providing
security measures with multiple formats being used at different steps from the
point of collection to the ending stage. Further, UIDAI has been declared STQC
ISO 27001:2013 certified and also been identified to be declared as “Critical
Infrastructure” by National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection
