Another big step has been taken in the direction of Digital India. Now an important update has come out for Google Wallet users, under which they will be able to keep their Aadhaar card safe in the wallet in digital form. This new feature is expected to make many identification related tasks easier and people will not need to carry physical cards everywhere.
What is the new update of Google Wallet?
Till now the use of Google Wallet was limited to keeping debit-credit cards, tickets and passes. But after the new update, it will also work like a digital document wallet. By saving Aadhaar in Wallet, users will be able to prove their identity immediately when needed, that too without any paper document.
How will the experience of common people change?
Even today, identity card is required during hotel check-in, travel, government services or any verification. In such a situation, having Aadhaar Wallet will make the process faster and convenient. The special thing is that the phone is always with people, whereas many times important documents are left at home.
What are the arrangements regarding security?
Documents stored in Google Wallet will be protected by encryption and phone screen lock protection. That means no one will be able to access Aadhaar without passcode, fingerprint or face unlock. This reduces the risk of identity theft or misuse to a great extent.
Which users will benefit the most?
This update will especially benefit those people who regularly use digital payments and online services. This feature can prove to be very useful for students, working people and traveling users. Apart from this, people living in rural and remote areas will also be able to easily access services through digital identity.
Will Aadhaar card become completely digital?
According to experts, this facility is not an alternative to physical Aadhaar but an additional facility. Where required by law or technically, the need for a physical card or official digital platform may continue. However, Aadhaar kept in Google Wallet will be useful to a great extent in many everyday tasks.
Steps towards digital future
The government and tech companies are constantly bringing solutions that can make the lives of citizens easier. The facility of adding Aadhaar to Google Wallet is considered an important initiative in this direction. This will not only save time, but will also reduce paper hassles and the fear of losing documents.
