Standing committee on UIDAI bill rejected the scheme. Committee identified 5 major issues with the Aadhar scheme
- Started Aadhar program without parliament approval
- Government stand: executive power coextensive with legislature power
- Committee: Aadhar program has potential to violate constitutional rights and privacy, hence parliament approval was a must
- Flawed enrollment process
- Lack of coordination between enrollment agencies-> confusion and overlapping
- Introducer model compromises with national security concerns
- Lack of data protection
- Misuse of personal information
- Ensuring confidentiality of collected information
- No feasibility study
- No pilot studies for a scheme that is expected to cost thousands of crores
- No comparisons made with other alternatives
- Faulty technology
- Makes use of uncertain untested technology
- IRIS scans utility has been doubted by government itself
- Biometric standings committee found high error rate in finger print scanning
