Justice K.S.Puttaswamy(Retd) vs Union Of India on 26 September, 2018 Registrars/Enrolment agency must appoint personnel for the verification of documents. (2) Please confirm that UIDAI does not know whether the documents shown at the time of enrolment/updating are genuine or false. Ans.: The answer is same as in (1) above. (3) (a) Please confirm: UIDAI does not identify the persons it only matches the biometric information received at the time of authentication with its records and provides a Yes/No response; Ans.: Biometric authentication of an Aadhaar number holder is always performed as 1:1 biometric match against his/her Aadhaar number (identity) in CIDR. Based on the match, UIDAI provides Yes or No response. A Yes response means a positive identification of the Aadhaar number holder. Each enrolment is biometrically de-duplicated against all (1.2 billion) residents to issue the Aadhaar number (or Unique Identity). (b) UIDAI takes no responsibility with respect to the correctness of the name, date of birth or address of the person enrolled. Ans.: The Name/Address/DOB are derived from the Proof of Identity (POI)/Proof of Address (POA) documents submitted during enrolments. The enrolment/update packet (encrypted) retains a scanned copy of the POI/POA documents used for the enrolment which can be reviewed in case of dispute. UIDAI maintains the update history of each Aadhaar number related to changes in name, address, date of birth etc. (4) Please confirm: (a) UIDAI takes no responsibility with respect to the correct identification of a person. Ans.: Please refer to Answer (1) above. Additionally, it may be stated that enrolment of Aadhaar is done through a resident enrolment process and verification of the POI/POA document is done against the acceptable documents, as per the UIDAI valid list of documents as provided in Schedule II and III Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations, 2016 read with Regulation 10. UIDAI takes responsibility in creating and implementing standards, ensuring matching systems installed in CIDR work as they are designed to do, and providing options to Aadhaar holders in terms of controlling their identity (such as updating their data, locking their biometrics, etc.) and accessing their own authentication records. One of the key goals of Aadhaar is to issue a unique identity for the residents of India. Hence, each enrolment is biometrically de-duplicated against all (1.2 billion) residents to issue the Aadhaar number (or Unique Identity). Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/127517806/ 35
