₹ 13985.5 Crores - revenue loss due to non-fixation of price. UIDAI made a "concious" decision to forego the revenue, without any trail

#eRUPI#UPI Vouchers for benefits is a radical departure from #DBT. Purpose and person aware #G2P payments are here. #SaveOurPrivacyen.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.

Unpopular opinion-We did terrible #AEFI-because #CoWIN was reduced to Aadhaar , facial recognition, vaccination certificates, APIs and what not - forgetting primary purpose was #AEFI management. Leave your hate for Prof, "Correlation is not Causation", think about the problem. 1/
