Aadhar Mandatory for Driving Licences

New Delhi, Sept 15: As we know that, The Central Govt has made the Aadhar mandatory for many things like passports, bank accounts, PAN cards.Now it's time for a driving license.

The Centre has announced that they are planning to link Aadhaar card with a driving license so as to curb people from having multiple driving licenses for a single name.

The Union Minister for Law and Justice and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the Centre is reviewing the plan to link driving license to Aadhaar and will soon introduce it.

Presently, people use multiple licenses to break the law, because if one license is impounded or suspended, then the person has another one as a backup. Also, multiple licenses create the menace of fake identities as well.



Prasad, while speaking at Digital Haryana Summit 2017, said "Aadhaar is a digital identity, not a physical identity. Digital identity confirms physical identity. We linked PAN card to Aadhaar to stop money laundering."

Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad tweeted that "We are planning to link Driving Licence to Aadhaar. I have had a word with Gadkari Ji regarding this: Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad".
