Model Answer

Parivar Pehchan Patra

  • The Parivar Pehchan Patra or Family Identity Card scheme of Haryana provides an eight digit unique identity number to every family of the State and creates an authentic, verified and reliable database of families. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
  • The data is used for the automatic delivery of benefits under the schemes and services of the State, such as pensions, scholarships and ration, on the basis of the verified income and family details.
  • The Haryana Parivar Pehchan Act, 2021 provides the legal framework for the scheme and the custodian of the data is the Parivar Pehchan Patra Authority constituted under the Act, and not any body called the Haryana Trust Based Reading Authority. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
  • Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
