Patna district struggles with Aadhaar seeding of land records as May 31 deadline nears
Patna district faces a slow pace in linking land records with Aadhaar numbers, despite the looming May 31 deadline
PATNA: The linking of
land records
to Aadhar numbers in
Patna district
is progressing slowly, despite the approaching May 31 deadline. This initiative will make it easier for anyone to prove his or her
land ownership
and help in preventing land-related frauds.
According to sources in the
revenue and land reforms dept
, only 17.45 lakh people have so far applied for Aadhaar seedings and around 13 lakh applications have already been processed in the district.
Paliganj is on top of
Aadhaar seeding
with more than 75,000 applications processed, closely followed by 74,000 in Masaurhi, 67,000 in Punpun, 59,000 in Bankipur and 57,000 in Dhanarua block.
The linking of
jamabandi
with
Aadhaar numbers
has several advantages, including receiving SMS notifications on mobile phone if there are any changes made in the Jamabandi after linking or any mutation application is submitted against it to alert the land owner against any fraud being attempted.

NEW DELHI: To ensure fair and transparent access to online ticket booking under the Tatkal quota, the Ministry of Railways announced on Wednesday that only Aadhaar-authorised users will be able to book Tatkal tickets on the IRCTC website and its app , effective from July 1 this year. The Railways has also decided no agent bookings will be permitted during the first 30 minutes after Tatkal bookings open for both AC and non-AC classes. This marks the first such decisive step taken following extensive consultations between experts and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who personally analysed the process before approving the changes. Confirming the decision, a senior Railway Ministry official said that the modifications to the Tatkal ticket booking system are aimed at enhancing user authentication and curbing misuse by fraudulent agents.

Only Aadhaar-authenticated users can book Tatkal tickets
Indian Railways on Wednesday announced that only Aadhar authenticated users will be able to book tickets online under the Tatkal scheme starting July 1 to ensure fair access for genuine passengers. In a circular dated June 10, the railway ministry informed all zones that this decision was 'aimed at enhancing user authentication and reducing misuse of the scheme'. 'Effective 1st July 2025, Tatkal tickets booked through IRCTC's (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited) official website and mobile app will be available only to users authenticated with Aadhaar. Aadhaar-based OTP authentication will become mandatory for Tatkal bookings made online starting 15th July 2025,' the ministry said. The Aadhaar safeguards come as the railways revealed it has blocked 24 million user accounts and flagged another 2 million as suspicious in the past six months as part of a major crackdown on misuse of the Tatkal ticketing system. Currently, only 12 million of IRCTC's 130 million registered users are Aadhaar-verified. The Railways has also introduced system-based OTP authentication at passenger reservation system (PRS) counters and for authorised agents. Railways said that users booking tickets at these points will receive an OTP on their registered mobile number, which will be required to complete the booking. This provision too will be enforced from July 15. 'Tatkal tickets shall be available for booking through computerized PRS (Passenger Reservation System) counters of Indian Railways/authorized agents only after authentication of a system-generated OTP, which shall be sent through the system on the mobile number furnished by the users at the time of booking. This shall also be implemented by 15/07/2025,' 'To prevent bulk bookings during the critical opening period, authorised ticketing agents of Indian Railways will not be permitted to book opening-day Tatkal tickets during the first 30 minutes of the booking window,' a railways official said. 'For AC classes, this restriction applies from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM, and for non-AC classes, from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM,' he added. Railway authorities have directed the Centre for Railway Information Systems (organization responsible for designing, developing, and implementing various information systems.) and IRCTC ( a subsidiary of the Indian Railways that manages catering, hospitality, online ticketing, and tourism services) to carry out necessary system updates and inform all Zonal Railways to ensure smooth implementation. Passengers have been urged to link their Aadhaar with IRCTC profiles well in advance to avoid disruptions in booking. These changes underline the government's focus on ensuring fair access to Tatkal tickets and delivering the benefits of the scheme to genuine users.
