Central government has launched a scheme called DigiLocker. Anyone having an
Aadhar Card can login to www.digitallocker.gov.in and upload scanned copies of all the important documents.
Some more information for our readers in respect of this scheme.
What
is DigiLocker?
Dedicated
personal storage space, linked to each resident’s Aadhaar number. DigiLocker
can be used to securely store e-documents as well as store Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) link of e-documents issued by various issuer departments. The
e-Sign facility provided as part of DigiLocker system can be used to digitally
sign e-documents.
How does DigiLocker work?
To Sign-up for the Digilocker you need to
have a valid Aadhaar number registered with Aadhaar. Please type your Aadhaar
number in the text box against “Enter Aadhaar Number”. You will be given two
options for user authentication. “Use OTP” and “Use Fingerprint”. You can click
on any one of the button.
After clicking on “Use OTP”, an OTP (One Time
Password) will be sent by UIDAI to the mobile number and email-id registered
with your Aadhaar. Enter the OTP and click on ‘Validate OTP’ button. Once the
OTP is validated the user is taken to set username/password page to complete
sign up.
After Clicking on “Use Fingerprint” User will have to put the
thumb print on the finger print device. If the finger print is valid, then user
is authenticated and taken to set username/password page to complete sign up.
How is DigiLocker going to help us?
It will minimize the use of physical
documents and will provide authenticity of the e-documents It will provide
secure access to Govt. issued documents. It will also reduce administrative
overhead of Govt. departments and agencies and make it easy for the residents
to receive services.
