Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 6: To link digital details of all employees with their respective salary or wage payment, the State Government has directed all regular employees, Contractual workers, Daily Wagers and Casual Labours to enroll themselves and get the Aadhaar Number latest by September 15, 2015.
Failure to enroll into the system may cause difficulties in drawing salary and wages for the month of October 2015 onwards, said a Government circular number 85-FD of 2015, dated 06-08-2015, issued today.
Besides, all the pensioners are also required to enroll themselves by obtaining Aadhaar Number by September 30, 2015 as this would help them to digitally identify themselves in future at the nearest Khidmat Centre or any other place having the system installed. After this, they would not be required to physically present themselves before the prescribed authorities to prove that they are alive.
This initiative is being undertaken as a part of “Jeevan Pranam Scheme’.
Further, in order to facilitate Aadhaar enrollments, the Permanent Enrollment Centres (PECs) have been established through the State at level of District/Block/Tehsil and also camps are being organized village wise.
According to the circular, all employees have been directed to provide their Aadhaar number along with other details as per a set format to the concerned DDOs.
Pertinent to mention that as part of ‘Digital India’ programme, it has been decided to implement  common Biometric Attendance  System (BAS) in order  to modernize the  information and other  details of the employees,  marking of attendance and also to implement the Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT) and  other welfare  measures.
The BAS system would identify an employee by presenting his/her biometric (finger
Print/lris) which  will  be authenticated  online by doing one  to  one  match with the  bio-metric stored  in  the UlDAl data   base   against   the employee’s Aadhaar   number.
