When money ceases to be cash and everything is done electronically and thus accounted for, the billions of dollars which are being embezzled from the welfare schemes will find a new and right destination. It will go the people who it was intended for. Of course it can’t stop the high-end scams like what we saw in 2G spectrum but everything else which directly effects the common man will change.

That is the gravity of UIDAI. Thought it tickles a funny bone, a goof up on such a matter is simply not acceptable.
No word on which biometrics were enrolled, though, or the prospects for finding the two jokers/fraudsters.
