Making the formalities easier can surely prompt the people to opt for more services. The Aadhar card is one such document that became of the most important document that can be used even while making a Passport. With the improvements in the technology work is getting easier.  The recent announcement of government that e-Aadhaar can be considered as valid document for the mobile connection has come out to be a relief for many who has not yet received their cards (hard copy).

The following fact has been clarified by the Department of Telecom (DoT) which has also placed the onus of verifying the details mentioned in the e-Aadhaar letter including name, address, date of birth, gender from the UIDAI, on the representative manning the point of sale.

The authorized person at the shop will also have to record a declaration saying that the customer details mentioned in the e-Aadhaar letter have been matched with the details received from the UIDAI.

Earlier this year, in a representation to the DoT, COAI Director General Rajan Mathews and AUSPI Secretary General, Ashok Sud had made a case for acceptance of e-Aadhaar as a valid document for issuance of mobile connection. “It is amply clear that there is no difference in the hard copy of Aadhaar received through Speed Post and the e-Aadhaar taken from the UIDAI website. Therefore, we request your kind intervention to issue requisite instructions and inform…that e-Aadhaar is acceptable,” the two industry bodies had said.

At present, there are many applicants who have not yet received the hard copy of their Aadhaar cards through Speed Post, although they may have the electronic copy of their Aadhaar card available through the UIDAI website. DoT’s clarification would make it more convenient for such prospective customers to apply for new connections.
