Making Aadhar card mandatory has huge benefits.

It reduces the amount of paperwork needed to obtain services like opening of bank account, mobile number, property registration etc.

It helps in plugging the leaks while distribution of ration or subsidies as a person is alloted the benefits only as per his Aadhar. This disallows middle man to siphon off the benefits etc.

It helps in identification of all citizens and also enables to spot out any criminal or terrorist living among us.

However, the disadvantages of making Aadhar mandatory is that not all citizens have Aadhar card with them. People from the north east or in remote areas do not have Aadhar cards with them and will be left out in government welfare schemes. Poor or needy people also might not have an aadhar card.

The contract for registration for Aadhar is awarded to private companies who can misuse people's information or extract money from people for Aadhar related services.

The collection of Aadhar data and storage incurs huge expenditure on the part of the government which is paid by people in form of taxes. The expense in Aadhar services could be utilised for other beneficial schemes like medical support, education or construction of proper roads, ports etc.

Also making of Aadhar mandatory can result in Mass surveillance of citizens by the government.

To conclude one can say that Aadhar should be mandatory for providing useful services like lpg or farmer's subsidy or Jan Dhan Yojna, pension or ration but it should be made optional for services like Telecom, education, bank account.

Firstly, Aadhar is a 12 digit unique identification no. Provided to every citizen of by a government of India. The basic idea behind identity no. Is that each individual must have its unique no which describes its identity. Making Aadharr mandatory and linking it with various govt ids will help govt to keep and manage records in a better way. Govt has taken already many steps like linking it with a bank account, pan card and other important documents. Govt steps are inclined towards making one nation, one identity.

Good morning everyone, Thanks to everybody for giving me an opportunity to speak something on the given topic "Making Aadhaar Mandatory: Benefits and drawbacks".

As you all know Aadhaar is one of the most secure databases provided by our government.

Benefits:

1. As it is linked to the bank accounts, it is easier for us to make the transaction easier and when a transaction is done by some person it has to go through any banks or financial institution so, that government can make a track which will help to collect tax revenue.

2. Now the government make sure that everyone who has PAN card has to link with Aadhaar card so that it will prevent money laundering & Black money transfer to an extent.

Drawbacks:

1. Not everyone has an Aadhaar card with them so it will create difficulties for them if Aadhaar made compulsory.

So, before making Aadhar Mandatory government has to make sure that every citizen of our country must have an Aadhaar card with them. It can not be imposed on everyone, it can be adopted by the people of the country.

According to me making Aadhar mandatory is a good initiative taken by our government Because it has more advantage than disadvantages some of the advantages are.

-it is the unique id of everyone who has full biometric of oneself include fingerprint, eye scanning, and address.

-now we do have not to carry our passport, driving license, and other documents for identification at any place.

-it is beneficial to all age persons because under the age of 18 we cannot have a passport, license pan card, and other documents.

-data in Aadhar is secured and no one can access our data until we cannot give OTP to anyone.

-it is managed by govt organization UIDAI so have not to be afraid of anything like leaking of our data.

The only drawback is a lack of awareness in uneducated people they can share their OTP by coming in a cage of hackers and fraud. But this drawback can be removed by Aware the people.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

Good morning to all of you.

Today our topic of discussion is making of Aadhar mandatory. In my opinion, Aadhaar should be mandatory for everyone because it gives you an identity that you belong to an Indian. And as we know that before making Aadhar we use a various card such as Ration card, electricity bill, driving license, voter card etc for our identification. But when Aadhar card is launched by our government it provides every person to his own.

Unique identity with a single card. We can use this card for various purposes as like ticket booking, admission, making Passport.

There are some glitches in this card that you may lose your personal information if Your Aadhar got into the wrong hand.

And Finally, we know that in many government schemes need Aadhar for verification. So Aadhar is mandatory for all people.

Hello everyone.

Making aadhaar mandatory is one of the best step by the government. Various documents of common person is now replaced by one document. Whether you want to make passport or you want to open bank account or you want to take an LPG connection aadhaar is mandator. Even our voter ID card is also linked by aadhaar card. This also reduces fraud corruption and somehow also reduces criminal activities as any information of any person can be easily identified by fingureprints or retina scan. Aadhaar reduces the duplicity and increases the transparency.

But at the same time there should be a proper security of database. Otherwise there should be a serious problem to the national security if there is any databreach.

But by making aadhaar mandatory it is a direct breach of the privacy if the control of the system goes in wrong hand.

I think Aadhar card benefits in minimizing the documentation work as well as time.

We can save Time means we have saved some money.
Adhar card also helps people who have lost.
These people can be taken to Aadhar centre and by accessing their fingerprints can help to find their address.
We don't have to carry too many documents.

The drawback I found that.

As Aadhar is compulsory, If anyone lost Aadhar card then he can't do any work like getting a new sim or change address or open bank ac etc till he gets back.
