Aadhaar data and its insecurity and absence of robust privacy protection laws, linking Aadhaar to all bank accounts etc can become catastrophe. Government has no right to expose citizens and their money to risks of losing.
Aadhaar linking should be restricted only to Government welfare schemes & subsidies and at the worst to mobile phones. Nothing more than that. Individual financial data must never be accessible to unauthorized entities under any circumstances.
Even though UIDAI assures Aadhaar data is fully safe, it is not really safe as glitches exist and not fool proof. Robust privacy laws must restrict individual data and unbridled access to database. Especially banks and financial institutional data accessing by unauthorized parties must be eliminated. Any financial loss arising out of unauthorised accessing of data must be borne by UIDAI/GoI/Bank only and customer must not be subjected to any loss or inconvenience.
