NEW DELHI: Asserting that core biometrics under Aadhaar were safe and secure, the government today said the use of the unique identification mechanism has ensured savings of over Rs. 90,000 crore by eliminating middlemen.
Addressing concerns over the safety of Aadhaar database raised during the Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "There has been no case of misuse of UIDAI database till date".
Mr Prasad said the government has provided a proper framework for Aadhaar by creating a legislative framework to back it.
Members raised questions about reports that some hackers had managed to deposit one rupee into the account of TRAI chairman using his Aadhaar database.
The minister said that UIDAI had already issued a statement in this regard. He said some of the claims being made were not correct.
Mr Prasad assured members that "core biometrics" of Aadhaar, were totally safe.
He said under the Direct Benefit Transfer mechanism, Aadhaar had resulted in savings up to the tune of over Rs. 90,000 crore.
