If you are a "Genuine" Indian, your name will figure in the The National Population Register, the BJP's National ID card project.
The NPR, which is said to be BJP's version of the "Aadhaar", will "identify who is an Indian Citizen and who is not", Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Singh said the National Registration Authority and UIDAI would work in mutual cooperation to prepare a comprehensive NPR database.
The proposed plan might include NPR authorities accepting enrolment data largely from UIDAI, though a house-to-house verification may be undertaken to confirm the address of Aadhaar number holders.
The NPR TIN will be matched with Aadhaar number and thereafter, biometric data will be taken from the UIDAI tech centre. Photos and other fields will ultimately be culled out for citizenship verification.
