Unique Identification Authority Of India [UIDAI] — 16 digit virtual card issued verification not insisted by companies

Website:

UIDAI

Although uidai has introduced 16 digit virtual cards nos. To be submitted for kyc verification to maintain privacy of citizens’ data but i find the companies like paytm, mobikwik, etc. Have not updated their software sufficiently-they are still insisting on 12 digit aadhar no. For verification and there is no provision till date to update kyc through virtual card details. Due to this mobikwik is forfeiting our cash backs or supercash since their special cashback has an expiry date of 3 months. Would request uidai to instruct the 2 companies to accept kyc updation through virtual cards with inmediate effect. Basically mobikwik is eating away our money by not allowing us to use it. We are losing thousands of cashbacks which is not proper. As a government organisation it is the duty o[censored]idai to safeguard the interests and data of citizens - why should we share our pan no., other identification proofs with merchant sites-government can use it but why third parties? Please consider the introduction of virtual card verification with immediate effect so that we do not lose any further
