So that one person can not have multiple IDs. We need this or any other biometric based system.
In current system, it is very easy to create fake identities. With biometric systems, a locality of 1,000 people can not have more than 1,000 ration cards or other IDs that entitle them ti various Govt subsidies or grants.
LOL. Your faith and ignorance of biometrics, identity, entitlements, corruption, governance, etc is touching. Please get an education on these before faffing.

That should bury your faith on biometrics.
If the process of creating the id is done at a proper centers that has medical experts (need not be doctors) to check the fingers and eyes before taking the scan then this cheating will be under control.
