The
Unique Identification Authority of India has approved the blueprint presented
by telcos to operationalise new modes like OTP for Aadhaar-based SIM
reverification of existing subscribers from December 1.
"Their (telecom operators') plans have
been approved... They have come and we have told them they will implement (the
process) from December 1," UIDAI CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey told PTI. The Total Investment & Insurance

The government last month had announced three
new ways to complete the process of linking mobile phone numbers with Aadhaar
to enable existing subscribers to undergo SIM re- verification exercise from
the comfort of their home. The Total

The operators, thereafter, were instructed to
approach the UIDAI with their blueprint to operationalise the new processes
that were permitted, and implement the new system after the Aadhaar-issuing
body gave clearance.
The plans were considered and approved from
the point of view of security, compliance with the Aadhaar Act and protection
of privacy, he added.
As per the new methods that were permitted,
mobile numbers can be linked with Aadhaar through OTP (one-time password), app
or IVRS facility -- the measure aimed at simplifying the entire process and
making it convenient for people.
While the authentication of mobile phone
number with Aadhaar, a process called re-verification, by visiting stores of
telecom firms will continue, the government has ordered the companies to carry
out the exercise at the doorsteps of the disabled, chronically ill and senior
citizens.
Telecom operators have also been directed to
deploy iris devices at "appropriate number of service points" so
subscribers have access to iris authentication "within a reasonable
geographical distance".
"Mobile companies have assured the UIDAI
that they will implement OTP-based verification of mobile numbers by month- end
and this will allow people to get the verification done without actually
visiting the store or retail agent," Pandey added. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
He said the new methods would also "help
achieve the (re-verification) task in the given timeframe (February 6 deadline)
and make the whole system more secure as it will prevent misuse of mobile
number by unscrupulous elements".The
