Sub: Use of mAadhaar Application for Verification of Passengers. Instances of individuals staying unaythorizedly in India with fake or forged Aadhaar cards and using them as identity proof for various purposes including employment and travel have been brought to the notice of this office. In order to curb impersonation and misuse of Aadhar Card, it is imperative to strengthen identity verification mechanisms. TC staff must check and verify Passenger [Ds at random in every trip. 2. ‘The mAadhaar application, developed by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAN), is useful for casy verification. The App provides several features, including QR code-based verification, which cnables reliable and paperless identity validation. Upon scanning the QR code on an Aadhaar card, the App displays key identity information such as photograph, Aadhaar number, name, gender, date of birth and address, thereby facilitating real-time verification of the authenticity of the document. This application works in offline mode also. This application might serve as a useful tool to curb impersonation and misuse of Aadhaar Card. 3: It is, therefore, requested to sensitize the Ticket Checking Staff to download and use the mAadhaar App (available for free on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store) on their mobile phones. This APP will also be provided on HHTs shortly. This app should also be‘used to verify the genuineness of contractual onboard staff e.g. OBHS, Catering etc. travelling in the train. In the event any such forged or fake Aadhaar card is suspected, the matter should be promptly reported to the RPF/local Police/GRP for necessary action. fz melee soc los raveen Kumar Director Passenger Marketing (Coord.)
