Member details, Aadhaar link likely: Delhi govt mulls creation of panel for family ID cards
The initiative includes creating a centralized database governed by the Delhi Parivar Pehchan Act, 2026.
Delhi government is contemplating the creation of a panel, called the Delhi Parivar Pehchan Authority, to oversee the development of a family identification card system. This legislation, the Delhi Parivar Pehchan Act, 2026, is under examination and aims to establish guidelines for the data security, privacy, and controlled information-sharing among departments, as well as mechanisms for citizens to correct and view their details in the database.
The authority would be headed by the chief minister and consist of officials from various departments, including revenue, finance, and technology. The proposed family ID card, which could be linked to Aadhaar, would be a single point system for accessing government services such as Ayushman Bharat Yojana and Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana.
The government is studying Haryana's Parivar Pehchan Patra to guide their approach. The database will encompass family members' details, residence, and other pertinent information.
