Aadhaar Card Linking: Seven Things Aadhaar Card Holders Need To Know

Adhaar Card Linking: Seven Things Aadhaar Card Holders Need To Know

March 31, 2018 is the last date to link Aadhaar card or the 12-digit Unique Identity Number with various government schemes and financial services. These range from PAN card, bank accounts and mobile SIMs to mutual fund investments and small savings schemes such as PPF (Public Provident Fund) and KVP (Kisan Vikas Patra). The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) – the issuer of the 12-digit Aadhaar number or Unique Identity Number (UID) as well as Aadhaar card – has in a communication dated January 14, 2018 sought to address some frequently asked questions (FAQs).

Here are some of the FAQs about Aadhaar which card holders need to know, according to UIDAI,

1. The UIDAI has all my data including biometrics, bank account, PAN etc. Will it be used to track my activities?

Absolutely false. UIDAI database has only the following information –

(a) Your name, address, DOB, gender, date of birth

(b) Ten finger prints, two IRIS scans, facial photograph

(c) Mobile number and email ID

Rest assured, UIDAI does not have your information about family, caste, religion, education, bank accounts, shares, mutual funds, financial and property details, health records etc and will never have these information in its database.

In fact, Section 32(3) of the Aadhaar Act 2016 specifically prohibits UIDAI from controlling, collecting, keeping or maintaining any information about the purpose of authentication either by itself or through any entity.

2. When I link my bank accounts, shares, mutual funds and mobile phones with Aadhaar, will the UIDAI not get this information?

Absolutely not. When you give Aadhaar number to your banks, mutual fund companies, mobile phone companies, they only send Aadhaar number, your biometrics (given at the time authentication) and your name etc to UIDAI for verification for your identity. They do not send your bank account or its details to UIDAI.

So far as UIDAI is concerned, it responds to such verification requests by replying either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. In few cases, if the verification answer is ‘Yes’, your basic KYC details (name, address, photo etc.) available with UIDAI are sent to the service provider.

3. Why am I being asked to link all my bank accounts with Aadhaar?

For your own security, it is necessary to verify identity of all bank account holders and link them with Aadhaar to weed out the accounts being operated by fraudsters, money-launderers, criminals etc. When every bank account is verified and linked with Aadhaar and then If anyone fraudulently withdraws money from your account, through Aadhaar such fraudster can easily be located and punished.

Therefore, by linking your bank accounts with Aadhaar, your accounts becomes more secure and not the other way around.

4. Do NRIs need Aadhaar for banking, mobile, PAN and other services?

Aadhaar is only for residents of India. NRIs are not eligible to get Aadhaar. The respective service providers like banks and mobile companies have laid down NRI-specific exemptions. NRIs should simply tell the banks and other service providers such as credit card companies etc that they are not required to provide Aadhaar numbers by virtue of being non-resident Indians.

5. Why am I being asked to verify and link my mobile numbers with Aadhaar?

For your own security and security of our country, it is necessary to verify identity of all mobile subscribers and link them with Aadhaar to weed out mobile numbers being operated by fraudsters, money-launderers, criminals etc. It has been found that most criminals and terrorists get SIM cards issued in the name of fictitious and even real people without their knowledge and use them for committing frauds and crime. When every mobile number is verified and linked with Aadhaar, then fraudsters, criminals, and terrorists using mobiles can be easily identified and punished in accordance with law.

6. Can the mobile company store my biometrics taken at the time of SIM verification and use them for other purposes later?

No one, including mobile phone companies, can store or use your biometrics taken at the time of Aadhaar verification and linking. The biometrics are encrypted as soon as Aadhaar holder places his finger on fingerprint sensor and this encrypted data is sent to UIDAI for verification.

Regulation 17(1)(a) of the Aadhaar (Authentication) Regulations 2016, strictly prohibits any requesting entity which includes mobile phone companies, banks etc from storing, sharing or publishing the finger-prints for any reason whatsoever and neither shall it retain any copy of such fingerprints. Any violation of this provision is a punishable offence under the Aadhaar Act 2016.

7. Some agencies are not accepting e-Aadhaar. They insist on original Aadhaar. Why?

e-Aadhaar (downloaded Aadhaar) from UIDAI website is as legally valid as original Aadhaar issued by UIDAI . Both should be acceptable by all Agencies. In fact downloaded e-Aadhaar has updated address etc. of the Aadhaar holders and therefore should be preferable. If anyone refuses to accept downloaded e-Aadhaar, the Aadhaar holder may lodge complaints with higher authorities of those departments/agencies.

Happy Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti to All Members and Viewers

Shivaji Jayanti is the birth anniversary of great Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Jayanti is celebrated every year on February 19 with much pomp and fervor in the entire state of Maharashtra. Shivaji Maharaj was born on February 19, 1630, in Shivneri Fort. Shivaji Jayanti is celebrated on a grand scale in the state of Maharashtra. Shivaji Maharaj is considered as the greatest Maratha ruler who carved an enclave from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur that became the start of the Maratha Empire. At the young age of 16, Shivaji Maharaj seized the Toma fort and by the age of 17 had seized the Raigad and Kondana forts. Shivaji Maharaj as he is popularly known was named Shivaji Bhonsle and was a member of the Bhonsle Maratha clan.

Shivaji Maharaj is known for his military and civil administration. He was named after the local Goddess Shivai to whom his mother Jijabai prayed for a son. Shivaji’s father Shahaji Bhonsle was the chief of the Bijapur kingdom. Shivaji Maharaj was the creator of the Maratha kingdom and he was instrumental in uniting the Maratha chiefs of Maval, Konkan, and Desh regions. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not only a hero for the people of Maharashtra but also for the rest of India as his military prowess and guerilla tactics of warfare are considered of great importance in the Indian history.

On the occasion of Shivaji Jayanti, several processions are taken out and people dress up like Shivaji and his associates. Shivaji Jayanti is an official statewide holiday in Maharashtra. Shivaji Jayanti is also celebrated in Goa and Karnataka. There are processions and dramas enacted on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and speeches made on Shivaji Jayanti by prominent government officials on this day.

Quick Tips for accounts verification at the end of the day - CSI

In CSI offices, accounting is centralized at transaction level. Hence there is no requirement of consolidation of accounts at sub office and head office level. Classification according to account codes is done automatically at the point of transaction, in respect of all POS and DPMS transactions. However, in respect of other financial transactions like Finacle, Mccamish, WUIMT, MMTS etc, there is a need to do voucher posting currently. Once integration is completed (which is expected to be done on completion of country-wide rollout of CSI), there would be no requirement of voucher posting.

The actions needed to ensure correct accounting in CSI offices are outlined below:

• Tallying of system balance with physical balance:At the start of business day, view ZFBL3N and check the correctness of the ‘DOP Cash’Opening Balance with that of physical balance. At the end of business day, the closing cash balance of ZFBL3N should be tallied with that of Physical balance. Any difference can be due to the missing voucher postings of financial transactions like PLI/RPLI, WMTS, MMTS, etc. Any pendency in voucher postings of Finacle transactions does not affect the DOP cash unless, they are wrongly posted in reference to DOP Cash.
• Accounting of transactions: All POS transactions have to be accounted through ‘POS Back Office Cash’ as obtained from Treasurer/DOP cash. Voucher posting relating to Finacle transactions (DPBS) done through POS has also to be with reference to ‘POS Back Office Cash’only. DOP cash GL is not to be used for this purpose. If DOP Cash GL is used, it will inflate the cash balance of treasurer and resultantly the closing DOP cash balance and physical cash balance will differ.
• Allocation of cash to counters: The allocation of cash to POS counter must be invariably done through POS Back Office module.In no case, cash which was not routed through the process be used in the POS counter.
• Verification of closing cash: Ensure correctness of Closing cash (DOP Cash) as in ZFR_DAY report of previous day with the opening DOP cash as in ZFBL3N report. Differences can be verified with the subtotals of each G/L by the FAGLL03 report with respective Posting Key of the day with that of ZFR_DAY_NEW.If the cash transfer is done through voucher posting, those figures will not reflect in ZFR_DAY_NEW, resulting in difference with ZFBL3N balance.
• Use of appropriate posting key: While posting any transactions in SAP, use appropriate posting key for Debit or Credit. In general, when department receives cash, DOP cash / POS cash GL as the case is debited (use Posting Key 40) and respective receipt GL is credited (use Posting Key 50). When department pays cash, DOP cash / POS cash as the case credited (Use Posting Key 50) and payment account head is debited (Use Posting Key 40).
• Posting of PLI/ RPLI transactions: The transactions relating to PLI/RPLI done through POS, need to be posted at the end of the day by using DOP cash GL as debit or credit as the case may be [till issuesin POS/McCamish are settled]. Voucher postings of Finacle transactions and McCamish should be done with reference to the swift report figures generated from POS module.
• Cash transfer to other offices: Cash transfer to other offices should invariably be done through workflow only and not by voucher postings. Cash received through workflow should be acknowledged by the receiver office on receipt of Cash,failing which DOP Cash of the receiver office will not be debited, i.e, balance will not be raised. Instances were noticed where cash receipt was posted manually and resultantly Cash in transit of the sender office is outstanding.Any lapse in these procedures will lead to different closing balances in ZFR_DAY and ZFBL3N.
• Functioning of DPMS: Every event of malfunctioning in DPMS is to be brought to the notice of TCS by raising tickets appropriately. When DPMS is down, voucher posting has to be done in respect of disbursements of Money orders, undelivered MO, receipts of COD and VPP. APM (Mails)/SPM should ensure that the MO postman issue is settled on a day to day basis. This can be verified through FAGLL03 with GL code 4200020009 of the respective profit centers. Please ensure that sum of MO postman issue is also zero at the end of the day.
• Checking for pendency: The sum of POS CASH GL 4867100011 should be zero at the end of the day. Any outstanding balances indicate pendency of voucher posting of Finacle transactions held in POS that day. The pending balances can be identified from the swift report from POS. Voucher postings for Finacle transactions should be invariably done with reference to POS CASH GL only. Rarely, there can be cases where invoices raised for walk- in customers in POS but billing not occurred in SAP, resulting in outstanding POS balances. This can be verified through FAGLL03, where invoice and billing documents can be linked with the code available in the text column.
• VPMO booking: While booking the VPMO and crediting VP clearing accounts, the appropriate check box for VPP should be clicked to enable proper accounting and clearance of their respective documents. The proper procedure for clearing COD receipts and its remittances to the sender may be followed through CSI only.
• Third party transactions: Third party transactions like WUIMT etc, which are not integrated with and not functioning in CSI POS, be done with DOP cash and voucher posting be done with reference to the Hand to Hand book of receipts and payments as tallied by the respective PA.
• Verification of Voucher posting: Once the Voucher posting is completed for the day, it may be cross-verified with the shift report figures as generated in POS for that particular day. Any variation be reconciled immediately and posted.
• Remittances: While making cash remittances between HO and SO, the prescribed workflow should invariably be followed. In case of Remittances from SO to BO and BO to SO, when Workflow is not functioning, direct posting with single DOP GL be avoided. In such cases also SAP GL of cash in transit should be used.
• Certification of voucher posting: The entire voucher posting be supported by a voucher, which should be signed and approved by the PM/ SPM. In case of voucher posting relating to Finacle and PLI/RPLI, the signed copy of Excel sheet be used as voucher and Document number be mentioned therein.
• Traceability of payments/ receipts: Every payment /receipts should invariably support by voucher/List and the Document number in which it is posted be mentioned in the Voucher.
• Cheque clearance: The Clearance of Inward and outward cheques received for various transactions are processed through FSI and the GL of POR Chennai be used for the cheques got realized through Chennai Grid. Separate procedure issued by PAO Bangalore be invariably followed.
• Accounting of BO transactions: As all the BOs are under Non CSI as BOs are not computerized, the transactions posting thereon be checked by taking ZFR_Day report for the Branch Office and its data be checked with the Hard copy of respective BO daily Account. No activity be kept backlog and the day’s work be completed and tallied on the day itself.
• Verification of one-time customer GL: For any Transactions in POS, an invoice is generated with one time customer GL for walk in customer and it should be ensured that it will be zero at the end of the day. Cross check with reference to FAGLL03. Any variations should be reported with raising tickets.
• Use of correct document type: While doing voucher posting, correct document type of CSI be used.
• Posting of Bank Scrolls: The Drawings from Bank clearing account and remittance to bank Clearing GLs should be cleared on posting of entries on receipt of Bank Scrolls.
• Care in selecting proper field in POS transaction: Proper care may be taken while feeding appropriate fields while making POS transactions, especially while scanning bar codes. There have been instances of barcode being fetched in Amount field wrongly. Even after reversal entry, the account shows distorted figures. Hence avoid such instances.
• Records: Every office must take a print of the day’s account which is to be signed by Head of the office. All vouchers/lists etc be sent to HPO duly noted with document number. HPO will send such vouchers and lists along with its records to PAO Bangalore.
• General Check at HPO: The HPO shall check the SO/BO accounts by accessing the data online. No need for taking print outs for rendering accounts to HPO by SPOs. The Postmaster concerned shall have to nominate such employees and role be authorized. It is the duty of the Postmaster to ensure check on day to day basis and raise such objections deemed fit and also raise tickets with TCS. The Divisional Head may obtain revised MDW consequent on CSI Roll out and examine and approve accordingly 

Rs 1,374 crore vanished in 3 days! LIC takes biggest hit in PNB’s free fall

A steep 40 per cent drop in the Punjab National Bank's stock in the last three days weighed heavy on its largest shareholder, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). 

LIC suffered a notional loss of as much as Rs 1,374 crore in the last three sessions since February 14. 

LIC, the biggest 'public shareholder' in PNB, holds 13.93 per cent stake in the bank, followed by HDFC Trustee Company Limited (4.2% stake) and Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio (2.2 per cent stake), data available with BSE for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 showed.

The state-run insurer has been hiking its stake in PNB for the last few years. Since 2011, LIC's stake in PNB has gone up from 8 per cent to 14 per cent. 

LIC's stake in the bank is worth Rs 4089.76 crore today, compared with Rs 5463.72 on February 14.

Meanwhile, the market capitalisation of PNB eroded about Rs 10,000 crore from Rs 39,209 crore as on February 12 to Rs 29,400-odd  crore today. The market value that PNB lost nearly equals the financial fraud PNB detected earlier this week at its Mumbai branch.

To explain the fraud in brief, PNB’s officials had issued unauthorised Letter of Undertaking (LoUs) in favour of three companies, run by billionaire Nirav Modi namely Solar Exports, Steller Diamonds and Diamond R Us for availing buyers’ credit.

PNB employees misused the SWIFT network to transmit messages to other banks bypassing the core banking system (CBS), and duping the management about the same. 

On these LoUs, overseas branches of Allahabad Bank, Axis Bank, etc, credited PNB’s Nostro account, from where funds were moved to certain overseas parties. Axis Bank on Thursday clarified, saying it had sold all its LoUs before the issue surfaced and there is no financial implication relating to this case.
