UPDATE: For better governance and management, Jharkhand Government has enabled Aadhar Linking with Ration Cards. As per the reports, it was a successful program and many has linked their UIDAI Numbers with existing ration cards in state. Basic purpose of getting both the services linked was to eradicate reach of middlemen who somehow cheats poor illiterate users in terms of subsidy. Once the ration card number is linked with UIDAI number, one will be able to get subsidy benefits directly to the bank account (as no middleman was involved here so there is no point of cheating or anything like).

In a recent complain, it was found that Point of Sales (PoS) machines installed at Fair Price Shops (FPS) were unable to recognize user’s fingerprints. It was reported in capital city Ranchi. As per the report, PoS were unable to recognize identities for more than half of the NFSA users. It raises a critical concern and is a big question on better use of future technologies like UIDAI system. As per the experts, there must be alternates for cases like this (it might be digital or non-digital alternate).

As per Government officials, they will continue to make technology better and link more and more number of Aadhaar cards with PDS cards. They will not make it a mandatory step unless and until 100% population in Jharkhand have registered and allocated Aadhar Cards.
