Aadhaar: Is India's biometric ID scheme hurting the poor? - BBC News

One of the many examples in this story:

Jama Singh, a wizened old farmer living in Sadwadih village, is unable to qualify for a pension because his Aadhaar card lists his age as 102 years.

"When we took him to banks to open an account, they told us that their software doesn't allow them to enter a three-digit age. So now officials are telling us to declare him 80 years old and apply for a new Aadhaar," Pachathi Singh, a neighbour, told me.
 
^ I dont think this software has capability to compare duplicate fingerprints. many people in my dads native village also had problems and their only solution was registering for new aadhaar cards which accepted their fingerprints without any problem.

and when they did authentication of jio mobiles, their fingerprints showed the latest adhaar they linked, not the previous ones
 
ABP says debit cards and pin nos. is difficult to use by most people in India. Aadhaar makes it simpler and allows people to be financially included.

you were right. I dont want to read this shit further for the sake of my sanity
 
Petitioners say that deadline for Section 7 benefits should also be extended. Fourteen crore forty eight lakh authentication failures have taken place for section 7 benefits and subsidies.
State argues that authentication rejections does not tantamount to denial of services.
CJI refuses to give an extension on section 7 benefits.

Wow!
 
How does one check how many numbers are bought on his aadhar?
