No one put that number in your phone as per UIDAI Press release

But there are great ambitions from 2016 about built-in aadhaar certified biometric sensors on your phone.

This plan for aadhaar+ Iris enabled phones are active from Nov 2016 . thequint.com/amp/story/tech…

My experiments with ICICI's newly launched PayLater account. This seems like a UPI creditcard, but with poor implementation. This looks like another desperate account from banks to get merchant transactions in their control.
Need Imobile to signup for this account. Received an invitation from bank to try it out. Signing up creates a CIBIL enquiry for 10K Overdraft even though initial credit limit allocation was 3750. This gives pl.<handle>@icici as upi handle.
When you use pl.<handle>@icici , the bank first checks for categorization of the handle as a verified merchant. It is not usable for p2p. you need to open Imobile-Paylater-UPI-Pending transfers and approve and submit the transaction via buttons (No PIN).

Just read the story. The story is more about Aadhaar eKYC mess than @paytm & how it is destroying Industry. Whole Banking Industry is now into "mandatory" Aadhaar eKYC rush for even though there is nothing makes aadhaar mandatory for a/c opening. Thread cc: @TheKenWeb
sub-rule (17)(a) of Rule 9 of the PMLA Rules, 2005 as amended by Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment
Rules, 2017 clearly specifies that new account holders have upto six months to submit aadhaar.

Parliament Question on 23rd March 2018 says - Notified date or six months of the date of commencement of account based relationship by the client *whichever is later* as the date of submission of Aadhaar number

A thread on all the #Aadhaar data leaks from Andhra Pradesh. The first leak I reported about AP was part of my report on why leaks are happening. The AP government published details of 2 crore residents Aadhaar, bank account numbers, phone numbers as MS Access databases online
Another one part of the same report was AP NREGA website publishing details of another 1,12,99,803 residents #Aadhaar numbers and bank account details.
This NREGA #Aadhaar data leaked again from a different portal. Turns out everyone has everyone's data at multiple databases.

#Aadhaar hearing resumes. CEO of UIDAI continues his ppt.

He starts by giving a break up of enrolment operators having been blacklisted..classified by reason. Will shortly give a link to that document.
DYC J asks if there has any operator been blacklisted for data breach....such as sharing of data etc.

CEO says only possible when the operator is so qualified to tamper the enrolment client software to capture or share biometric data.

Even if someone does it, it is punishable.
CEO says now they are phasing out private enrollment agencies and are going to be housed only inside banks and post offices.

"#Biometric data is not confidential at all compared to passwords. This characteristic poses an obstacle when using biometrics as a security or protection measure." #Aadhaar #AadhaarMythBuster

"If we forget our password or someone steals it, we can create a new one. In the case of biometrics, this is practically impossible; how do we go about generating new fingerprints for our fingers?" #Aadhaar #AadhaarMythBuster

"As the collection of biometric information increases, error rates may rise significantly."

"The increase in error rates may result in the wrongful criminalization of individuals or social exclusion." #Aadhaar #AadhaarMythBuster
