Gurugram: The Centre will soon start linking driving licence with Aadhaar, electronics and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Friday.
“It would be done soon to check the menace of multiple licensing,” he said after inaugurating the Haryana Digital Summit-2017 here.
“I have already had a word with Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari, in this regard and the process to link Aadhaar with driving licence would be set in motion soon,” he said.
Referring to the debate on security of Aadhaar data, Mr Prasad said the biometric information — which includes iris scan and fingerprints — is stored in an encrypted form and is very secure.
