This work does not fall under the jurisdiction of banks and is not the job of banks and bank employees
The facility of issuance of Aadhaar card from certain bank branches will increase the work pressure on the employees and expose them to avoidable risks and accountability, according to bank employees association.
This work does not fall under the jurisdiction of banks and is not the job of banks and bank employees, said C H Venkatachalam, general secretary, All India Banks Employees Association (AIBEA), in a letter dated March 1, 2018.
“Bank employees in many branches are facing undue work pressure due to inadequate staff and already many services of the government departments have been put on the shoulders of the banks. Adding these (Aadhaar) type of jobs will create more work pressure and expose the employees to avoidable risks and accountability,” he said in a letter to the chief executive of Indian Banks’ Association.
Venkatachalam referred to a letter dated October 19, 2017, with regard to instructions given by bank managements advising employees to undertake work in relation to issuing Aadhaar cards to the public.
We were given to understand that the matter is being pursued with the finance ministry and UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) but we haven’t heard anything so far, he said, requesting that the matter be taken up with appropriate authorities suitably.
“We are advising our members in the concerned banks not to undertake this work,” he said.
A few months back, UIDAI, the Aadhaar-issuing authority, ended its contract with CSC e-Governance Services and other third-party private agencies for enrollment and updation of Aadhaar cards after issues of leakage of data.
Subsequently, post offices and banks have been asked to undertake the work, apart from government offices. Certain bank branches have formed special cells for Aadhaar enrollment.
Dinesh Kumar Tyagi, CEO, CSC e-Governance Services, in a recent interview with DNA Money had strongly refuted the allegations saying CSCs have nothing to do with the leak of the Aadhaar data.
