Similarly, an eligible person whose iris could not be taken for any reason can enroll using his fingerprint only.
The government has made a big change in the rules for making Aadhaar. The government has said that a person eligible for ‘Aadhaar’ can enroll using ‘Iris’ scan in case fingerprints are not available. The statement comes after Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar confirmed the nomination of Josimol P Jose, a woman from Kerala. The woman could not enroll for Aadhaar as she did not have fingers on her hands. Lakhs of people will benefit from this change in the rules of Aadhaar. Many people were not able to get Aadhar enrollment done because they did not have fingerprints for Aadhar enrolment. With the new change, fingerprint is no longer necessary.
People unable to provide fingerprints will not face problems
According to the statement, a team from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) met Jose, a resident of Kumarakam in Kottayam district of Kerala, at her home on the same day and generated her Aadhaar number. Chandrashekhar said all Aadhaar Seva Kendras have been asked to issue Aadhaar to people with blurred fingerprints or other similar disabilities by taking alternative biometrics. According to the statement, “A person who is eligible for Aadhaar but is unable to provide fingerprints can enroll using iris scan only.
Base will be formed even if there is no pupil of the eye
Similarly, an eligible person whose iris could not be taken for any reason can enroll using his fingerprint only.” It said that the name, gender, address, date of birth of a person unable to provide both finger and iris biometrics are matched with the available biometrics.
