## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI P.P. CHAUDHARY)

(a):    The  challenges  posed  by  biometric  recognition  relate  to  capturing  the  biometrics  of residents with poor quality of finger prints, people with amputated fingers/ hands, leprosy patients,  blind  people,  people  with  eye  conditions  such  as  deformed  pupil/  IRIS  (mostly result of surgeries), other types of eye abnormalities like squint eyes, people suffering from involuntary movement of the eye-ball. Majority of the eye condition cases were from noncircular  pupil  shape  caused  due  to cataract operations  using  intra capsular cataract extractions cryo-surgery technique used prior to 1990.    These challenges were addressed by the  UIDAI Committee on Biometrics in its report 'Biometrics Design Standards for UID Applications'. Subsequent to this Report, UIDAI conducted field studies which concluded that,  using  multi  modal  (both  finger  print  and  IRIS  based)  de-duplication  provides  an acceptable level of accuracy for issuing UID numbers.

Accordingly,  to  overcome  the  problem  of  poor  quality  finger  prints  and  IRIS  related conditions multi modal de-duplication, i.e. both IRIS and finger print based de-duplication systems were adopted by UIDAI for issuing UID numbers.

- (b):   Unique Biometric Competency Centre (UBCC) has not been set up by UIDAI.

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS [GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD)]

(a) to (c) As  per  the  extant  provisions,  only  one  parent's  name [either  mother  or  father  or  legal  guardian]  is  mandatory  while submitting the application for issue of passport. It is not mandatory for  the  applicant to provide the names of both the mother and the father  in  the  application  form.  In  case  of  divorce/separation,  the applicant is not required to provide the name of the spouse in the form while applying for the issue of passport. However, in case of married  applicants,  it  is  mandatory  to  provide  the  name  of  the spouse in the application form for issue of passport.

A three-member Committee comprising of the officials of the Ministry  of  External  Affairs  and  the  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child

Development was constituted to examine various issues pertaining to  passport  applications  where  mother/child  had  insisted  that  the name of the father should not be mentioned in the passport and also relating  to  passport  issues  to  children  with  single  parent  and  to adopted children. The Report of the Committee has been accepted by the Ministry. One of the recommendations of the Committee was that the Ministry of External Affairs should explore the possibility of doing away with the printing of some information contained in the Passport  Booklet  such  as  names  of  father/legal  guardian,  mother, spouse,  and  present  address.  It  has  been  observed  from  the passport booklets of other countries available with this Ministry that the names of father, mother and spouse are generally not printed in them. The Ministry is examining  this recommendation  of  the Committee in consultation with the various stakeholders. (d) The  attention  of  the  Government  has  been  drawn  to  some media reports regarding difficulties faced by women applicants, who are either divorced or separated, at the time of applying for issue of passports for their children.
