Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation [Apsrtc] — insisting of hard/physical copy of aadhar card by conductor's/special squad officers for extending concession to senior citizens

Address:

Guntur, Andhra Pradesh

Sir
I am a retired bank manager. Today morning at 7.30am i boarded the passenger bus bearing no. Ap28z3890 from narasaraopet (Nrt) to guntur (Gnt). I have my aadhaar card in my mobile and showed it to the conductor but she expressed her inability to extend the concession accorded by the government of a. P stating that surprising squad authorities are insisting for hard/physical copy of the aadhaar. When i requested dm narasaraopet, he advised her to extend concession and he also requested me to carry the physical/hard copy of the aadhaar card next time.

In this context i wish to place on record that the government of a. P is moving forward with e-governance in line with government of india. It is not correct to insist hard/physical copy to extend the concession when the person himself/herself is showing the photo copy through his/her mobile that too the photo on aadhaar card tallies. The government of india, though nad national academic depositary, getting the academic certificates gets digitally deposited. Even in case the certificates lost by the candidates, they are assured of jobs and processing of visas

Under this scenerio, if it is insisted like this, the purpose of e-governance is defeated. I, therefore, put my appeal to the authorities concerned to direct the squad authorities as well as the conductors to extend the concession to senior citizens in such events, without insisting the hard copy of the aadhaar card
