........“Let us have only one ID, that is Aadhaar, which will be much more convenient to people and easier to identify,” said KC Chakrabarty, Deputy Governor, RBI. “The use of Aadhaar will help in rooting out many cases from identity frauds (due) to unauthorised documentations,”..........
The very purpose of VITALINFO is to provide a platform for wider dissemination of updated information related to and happening of events in and around RBI.

Good idea. The flip side is the AADHAR project itself is not progressing as expected. Awareness about AADHAR card as an acceptable identity proof has also not penetrated deep. A month back, the India Post messenger did not accept AADHAR card as identity proof for delivering a speedpost article(my wife’s renewed passport) in Thiruvananthapuram. He was happy to have a look at the bank pass book, instead. While on the issue of ID proof, let me quote a message sent to several newspapers last week, which was not found ‘printable’ for reasons best known to them:
“Several cases of unauthorized use
of credit/debit card are being reported in the media. The Railways are
insisting on photo-ID with tickets booked through internet. Such a procedure,
if insisted when credit/debit cards are used in shops and establishments other
than banks and ATMs may reduce fraudulent use of credit/debit cards. When a
genuine user is not carrying ID proof while shopping, taking a photo (charging
a nominal fee) on a mobile will work as a deterrent against misuse.”
