Digital Address ID: The government now wants to bring people's addresses inside India's digital public infrastructure matrix. Till now there is no such system through which anyone can be traced in this way in the country.

Digital Address ID: The Government of India brought 'Aadhaar' for a person's unique identity. After this, UPI was introduced for digital payments. Now the government is considering another new step. The government wants every person to have a digital ID. With this, someone's house or his location can be found with much better accuracy and quickly. Especially in the case of government services, the government has started feeling this necessary. For this, the government now wants to bring people's address inside India's digital public infrastructure matrix. Till now there is no such system through which anyone can be traced in this way in the country.

The government can bring a bill

This system is being prepared by the Department of Posts and it will be directly monitored by the Prime Minister's Office. A draft version will be shared soon for suggestions from the general public and the final version is expected to come by the end of this year. Also, a law can also be passed by the Parliament during the winter session in this regard, so that a new authority is established to look into the digital address system.

There have been many cases when companies share the address data of people without their consent. But to put a stop to this, the government wants to take steps to ensure that the information about the address of the person is not shared with anyone without his consent. The importance of the correct address increases the most when someone is shopping online or courier service and food delivery is being done.

Digital ID will be safe

But, the problem with these things is that many people are not able to write clearly and legibly. Many times, while writing the address, they write and leave a nearby landmark. In such a situation, there is a lot of delay in reaching that place. According to a study, due to this type of address confusion, the country incurs a cost of about 10 to 14 billion every year, which is about 0.5 percent of the country's GDP.

According to reports, a blueprint of digital address is being prepared. There will be a standard for sharing and writing the address. This will give any digital platform its address. But, for this the permission of that person will be necessary and it will be completely safe.
