The Delhi government plans to introduce an Aadhaar vault system to securely store residents' Aadhaar details across various departments. This initiative, developed by the Information Technology (IT) department, aims to strengthen data protection and ensure compliance with privacy norms set by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). By implementing this system, the government seeks to reduce data duplication, as many departments rely on Aadhaar for processing documents. The vault will encrypt Aadhaar data, minimizing the risk of identity misuse and allowing departments to use reference tokens instead of direct access to sensitive information. The system will be rolled out in phases, particularly focusing on citizen data linked to welfare schemes, certificates, subsidies, and social security programs. Additionally, the government is addressing challenges in verifying beneficiaries for the old-age pension scheme due to privacy regulations surrounding Aadhaar data sharing. Officials are exploring alternative methods to ensure compliance while facilitating beneficiary verification.
