We did it, @CNN. We crossed 600M with 5 days to spare.

Yes, We have a long way to go, but over the last 5 years here’s a *few* things we’ve done:

1. Created the world’s largest government fintech rails. Ask @Google, they want to take it to the US.

2. Got 500M people bank accounts #JANDHAN and achieved near universal banking coverage through rural banking correspondents and #AePS.

3. Brought 750M people online with the world’s cheapest data rates. 2 yr @airtelindia subscription cost = 1 month @ATT cost.

4. Built 150M toilets in homes to achieve almost 95% toilet coverage in 2020 from 40% in 2015. #SwachhBharatMission

6. Achieved 100% rural electrification in 2020 from 55-60% in 2010.

#eRUPI #UPI Vouchers for benefits is a radical departure from #DBT. Purpose and person aware #G2P payments are here. #SaveOurPrivacy
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ration_st… is digitized food stamps, but crucial digitization difference is it converts a bearer instrument like stamp / coupon into a person / purpose specific instrument, embedding automatic data emission about beneficiary upon use.
The naming of this is curious. When countries around the world are discussing #CBDC / issuing new digital currency, naming a private payment instrument #eRUPI is sign of things to come (?). One can only speculate at the moment.

#CashlessConsumer @anivar@chowchow.social is at #AadhaarTribunal and is talking on intersection of #Aadhaar and #DigitalPayments / #Fintech.

#CashlessConsumer makes the following demands to seek a reform in #DBT / payments infrastructure
1. A thorough #CAG audit on #DBT infra to officially document the reasons for exclusions (untraceable payments referred in #NITIAayog Poshan report) and detailed report on #APB, compensate the beneficiaries who are denied welfare benefits with interest
2. Policy decision to gradually migrate #DBT to use #NEFT (run free of cost by RBI wef 1.1.2020) instead of NPCI owned #APB infrastructure which charges ministries implementing #DBT delivery.

Putting 12 stage roadmap to cashless economy presented in mid 2015 in #ThanjavurKalvettu
More, this one on #FASTag . In 2015, FASTag + EWB integration was 'imagined'. I will leave it to you on who is ruling the country.

As for their execution skills, we all no better now.
This is awesome. VoterID linking with #Aadhaar was too imagined in the book

India took 3 big productivity leaps: Nilekani

Lets do a statement by statement break down the PR lies that never get questioned. (Oh livemint didn't note that he is their minority shareholder)
Nilekani said that Aadhaar-based identification gave a boost to the government’s financial inclusion plan

Fact Check :- Besides exclusion, fraud, Reliance on #Aadhaar and #AePS instead of cards is actually denying poor their DBT money put by govt
"The roll-out of Aadhaar, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and account aggregators"

AA is not yet rolled out, because we don't have a privacy law in place.

So, somebody whose Aadhaar is linked with your bank account can actually empty your bank account? 🤔🤔

Improbable??? Cannot happen?

It already has.

Fraud is a feature of the Aadhaar Enabled Plundering System (#AEPS).

Also, what stops the merchant from initiating multiple transactions on the pretext that the earlier authentication attempt had failed?

Now that the lawyers have run their marathon and we wait for the top court to rule, a small personal diary note thread on #Aadhaar & me.

Huge thanks to community of people who have widened my wisdom of how society works. Fellow helpless people helping each other.
It started sometime in 2011, when I knew nothing, enrolled along with family.But our enrollment packets were lost, EID wasnt even searchable. I did write some emails to support, but yielded nothing more than, please enroll again. As the need wasn't real, did not enroll.
Parents gave up at a later date, enrolled, got UID successfully generated. I resisted, mostly because of laziness, but did not have developed trust enough to enroll. On random browsing sessions, have heard Usha Ramanathan on YouTube, but never took deep dive into issues.
