Op-ed: After the SIR, use Aadhaar to keep voter rolls clean · 15 September 2026 · Covers one part · use it in the example
The op-ed's welfare figures show Aadhaar-based delivery's gains, while its warnings on wrong deletions and authentication failure illustrate DBT-style exclusion risks.
- An op-ed credits Aadhaar in welfare with savings of over ₹2.7 lakh crore and 1.47 crore pensioners verified through Jeevan Pramaan.
- The same op-ed warns that a wrong deletion from records can cut people off from rations and pensions.
- Exclusion risk: authentication failures can wrongly flag genuine voters; by analogy, argue for notice, reasons, a hearing and time-bound appeal before anyone is cut off from benefits.
