These cards would feature their health and other information, Jaitley added. The government will first run a pilot project in 15 districts during the 2017-18 fiscal year.
Aadhaar is a biometrics-backed (fingerprint, iris, or facial features) national ID system that the government is positioning as a solution to bring its 1.3 billion people to the digital age. Over one billion people and 99% of the country's adult population are already enrolled in the system.
One of the biggest applications of Aadhaar so far has been seen in Unified Payment Interface, an effort by the government to make digital exchange of money as simple as sending a text message.
And it’s working. The government as well as different financial institutions are now allowing people to avail financial services using their phone number, doing away with the need of going to banks and wasting tons of paper. On the sidelines,
Jaitley also announced that government's recently launched BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) app will be able to send money using the 12-digit Aadhaar number at places where Aadhaar-based payment is supported.
