Aadhar - Driving Licence linking to become mandatory in India

Govt of India will soon make Aadhaar - Driving Licence linking mandatory, said Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Union Law Minister.

This is to ensure that those involved in road accidents are barred from getting duplicate licenses and are not let go scot-free.

Delivering his presidential address at the ongoing 106th Indian Science Congress at Lovely Professional University on 2019-01-06, the minister for Law, Electronics and Information Technology said, "We are soon going to bring a law which will make it mandatory to link Aadhaar with driving licence."

"At presently, what happens is that the guilty person who causes an accident flees the scene and gets a duplicate licence. This helps him go scot-free. However, with the Aadhaar linkage you can change your name but you cannot change your biometrics, neither iris nor fingerprints. So the moment you go in for a duplicate licence, the system will say this person already has a driving licence and should not be given a new one," said Prasad, explaining the need for the linkage.
