Aadhar :
The Omnipresent
Economic Times ( 22 Nov )
carries following news :
“ Property Deals to be linked to Aadhar ”
Now the next big step
against black money
is round the corner, and this time it's immovable property that's on target.
For the first time, a
Union Cabinet minister has indicated that Aadhaar linkage with property transactions would
be made mandatory.
Union Housing Minister Hardeep Puri has said that
he has no doubt the linkage would happen. Speaking to Nayantara Rai of ET NOW,
Puri said such a move would go a long way in sucking out black money from real estate and also help in
crackdown on benami properties.
"Seeding Aadhaar
to property transaction
is a great idea but I’m not going to make an announcement on that. We are
already linking Aadhaar to bank accounts, etc, and we can take some additional
steps for property market also,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi has indicated several times that the government would crack down on benami property. Aadhaar
linkage could be one part of that drive.
When asked if seeding Aadhaar with property is a logical
conclusion of the government's drive to push Aadhaar to bring transparency in
economy, Puri said, “Absolutely, that’s the way it's heading anyways. I have no
doubt that it will happen."
This is a “ Half Way House “
!
Why link Aadhar with only a “ Property
Deal “ ? Why not link it with a given “ Property “
itself ? Permanently
?
That is linking Aadhar
with the “ Postal Address
“ of each and every “ Property
“ in the country , so that we know WHO owns that property !
Of course , there are millions of “ properties “
which have NO POSTAL
ADDRESSES !
Properties ( eg : land parcels / buildings )
located in deserts / jungles /
valleys / on mountain tops or ( may be ) even
in City Slums !
So , how can we link
Aadhar with a property
which does not even have a postal address ?
No problem !
www.What3Words.com , has divided entire
surface of the Earth into 57
trillion squares of 3 meter by 3 meter each
And assigned to each
square , a unique combination of 3 words ( currently from 40,000 English words ) – which determines its precise location on the
surface of the Earth ( - replacement of Postal Address )
Of these 57 trillion squares ( of 3M * 3M ) , India’s share is 1368 Billion squares ( 2.4 % of entire Earth’s
surface area )
So , there is no problem in linking Aadhar Number
to ANY NUMBER of
squares – whether adjacent / contiguous or separated
Now , the only problem
is that millions of our citizens are not familiar with ENGLISH language words
So , I wrote to the support team of …..www.What3Words.com :

It is time you come up with
HINDI language
version for India’s 1.3 Billion people , where millions live / sleep on footpaths ( sidewalks )
