Employers feel the pinch of Aadhaar-UAN linking

A web circular, dated November 11 2018, issued by EPFO states "You are aware that EPFO has made available a number of online services through EPFO web platform and the mobile platform of UMANG. A number of EPFO members want to avail these online services by providing their Aadhaar number".

The notice further prods "In order to facilitate the members to avail effective and efficient online service delivery by EPFO, the field offices are advised to take up following actions immediately: i. All Regional Offices and District Offices must ensure a facilitation centre in the office premises to enable the members for updating their Aadhaar details or enrolling for Aadhaar.

Post the circular, companies have undertaken the attachment of Aadhaar to UAN on a war footing. They are goading employees to share their Aadhaar details but not everyone is keen to do so.

"Private companies cannot ask for Aadhaar information from employees. Jobseekers are saying no to Aadhaar. SC court has said private companies cannot collect it then on what basis are they (EPFO) asking us to collect it," she said.

A notice on the EPFO website states; "seeded Aadhaar against activated UAN is mandatory for online claim submission".

EPFO has full "Respect" for the Supreme Court Verdict and Aadhaar Judges.

It's a sign, bro.
If push comes to shove, submit the ITR using enrollment ID. It's not the fingerprint or face, its the ability to connect all the dots and know you better than you know yourself, something like Facebook Figured Out My Family Secrets, And It Won't Tell Me How. And remember these guys plan to track/monitor us from cradle to grave.

RupeeRedee data exposed

“A potential isolated vulnerability in one of our data storage blocks (Amazon) was brought to our attention by a data surveillance enthusiast. Thankfully the vulnerability was recognised and fixed within a few hours thereby preventing any compromise of our systems or customer data

Compare this response to UIDAI's response when some breach is reported, e.g. denial, FIR against the reporter, etc.

because of a vulnerability on its cloud-storage facilities.

cool way to blame Amazon when they were storing data in publicly accessible buckets.

 

[dextermorgan]

^ that blame will work for people who think posting soldiers outside data centers will protect the data from hacking
