In a significant development, the urban local bodies department in Haryana has taken a stride towards easing the struggles of residents dealing with property ID corrections. The department’s latest move allows the utilization of the Aadhaar card as a credible document for both identity verification and e-KYC authentication. This action comes as a formal notification issued on August 10, following the Government of India’s directive to integrate Aadhaar for verifying individuals availing various government initiatives.
Diverse Authentication Options with Aadhaar
With the implementation of this new regulation, the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), commonly used for familial identification, becomes an additional, non-exclusive authentication document. This shift aims to enhance convenience for property holders while adhering to modern authentication practices.
Addressing a Common Concern
Haryana boasts a substantial count of approximately 1 crore registered property IDs distributed across various civic bodies in the state. Among the concerns raised by residents and the state government, the correction of property IDs emerged as a focal point of contention. The authorities’ responsiveness to this issue has been notable, with even senior leaders of the ruling BJP-JJP addressing it during recent meetings.
Converging Aadhaar and PPP
One of the noteworthy concerns arising from the variation in details between Aadhaar cards and Parivar Pehchan Patras has been the inadvertent removal of beneficiaries from various state-run schemes. The integration of Aadhaar and PPP aims to mitigate such discrepancies and further enhance the effectiveness of public welfare initiatives.
This initiative showcases a proactive approach by the urban local bodies department in Haryana, blending modern digital identity solutions with the existing framework to offer enhanced services to its residents.
