Re-verification

Hon’ble Supreme Court stated “an effective process has been evolved to ensure identity verification, as well as, the addresses of all mobile phone subscribers for new subscribers. In the near future, and more particularly, within one year from today, a similar verification will be completed, in case of existing subscribers.”

Based on above mentioned details of order, the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) has issued instructions to all operators to verify all existing mobile subscribers (Prepaid & Postpaid) through Aadhaar based E-KYC process on or before 06.02.2018.

Now to comply with the order we are starting campaign to do KYC of all existing subscribers through Aadhaar based EKYC process. We request all subscribers (excluding the subscribers who have opted their mobile connection via E-KYC mode –Aadhaar based activations by providing biometric) to visit their nearest Idea outlets & follow simple steps to complete the mandated E-KYC process.

For your ready reference simple four steps shall ensure E-KYC compliance.

Step-1 – Visit to our nearest Idea center and provide your mobile number and Aadhaar number.

Step-2 – Idea store executive will provide a four digit verification code on your mobile number from re-verification application.

Step-3 - Subscriber to provide the verification code to Idea store executive & provide his/her biometric.

Step-4 - After 24hrs you will received a confirmation SMS, reply Y to complete the EKYC process.

Please note that this entire exercise is free of cost and for your convenience, hence we solicit your co-operation.

Supreme Court passed order on 6th February 2017 that Aadhaar-based eKYC verification should be done for all mobile phone numbers (Pre-paid & Post paid existing or new) in the country by 6th February 2018.

Supreme Court also told Govt NOT to shove Aadhaar into throats of people as Govt keep on saying Aadhaar is NOT a must and then this sh!t??? What if a person who doesn't have aadhaar, since it is NOT mandatory???

This is a contradictory statement by Supreme Court itself as on one side it is saying that Aadhaar is optional and cannot be made mandatory where as on the other side it is making eKYC compulsory for Mobile.

From this year Govt has made Aadhaar mandatory for PAN / Income tax filing also and the case is still pending in Supreme Court.

Though making Aadhaar based eKYC mandatory for mobile may help prevent misuse of mobile for criminal activities but how will it benefit in case of PAN.

In some places Govt has also forcefully implemented Aadhaar for new born babies wherein Birth Certificate is being issued only after issue of Aadhaar.

Since the passing of Aadhaar Bill the Govt is trying to make it mandatory. Aadhaar data leakage / theft can be disastrous. We can just wait and see.

Even Supreme Court is saying different things on different days. So eKYC for mobile connection is MUST, but aadhaar is optional. So they are trying to defend by saying that taking mobile connection is OPTIONAL? WTF?? Mobile connection, even mobile data has become more like a necessity than a LUXURY, even for middle class person today (esp when Govt themselves flooding play store with apps day by day).

 

Actually making aadhaar compulsary with PAN / IT filing is a master stroke to avoid black money rotation. Say for example, somebody is operating bank account without giving PAN for years, with some proof like DL / Voters ID, after linking PAN and aadhaar, that bank a/c is just a simple search command away from Govt side.

 

I will be happy, if they announced aadhaar is MANDATORY FOR ALL, incl Diplomats in India. But they are NOT doing that. Thats why I am suspicious. I wonder how many politicians have NOT taken aadhaar till date???

True!! Mobile is essential & has become our identity. OTP / alerts for bank services or IMPS or UPI or any other online registration - buying e-ticket or what not - even Aadhaar without mobile registration is incomplete.

PAN is still not mandatory for bank account (bank account without PAN has some restrictions) but existing PAN holder's need to attach their Aadhaar to be able to file returns from 1st July this year or their PAN will become invalid till Aadhaar is not furnished & new PAN can only be obtained if you have Aadhaar card as well (petition filled against this is pending under Supreme Court).

Finally it may become mandatory for all as seems by Govt's approach. In fact it should be mandatory for fighting elections also.

The only issue worries me is the security of biometric data of individuals which can be disastrous if leaked or stolen. Recently there was a news about such an event & different entities were blaming each other.

Got 3 Vodafone connections re verified yesterday. Process was smooth. However, OTP took 5-10 minutes to arrive. No paperwork required.

Got my mom's airtel prepaid re verified. The process of Airtel was very fast. It took few seconds to process the whole request including OTP generation. However, Airtel did not give any receipt like Vodafone did. Although Vodafone is also not giving receipts in all the stores.
