Whereas, the use of Aadhaar as identity document for delivery of services or benefits or subsidies simplifies the Government delivery processes, brings in transparency and efficiency, and enables beneficiaries to get their entitlements directly in a convenient and seamless manner and Aadhaar obviates the need for producing multiple documents to prove one's identity;
And whereas, the Ministry of Home Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) in the Government of India is administering the Central Scheme of "Grant in Aid to Government of Tripura and Mizoram for rehabilitation of Bru Migrants" (hereinafter referred to as the Scheme) under which financial assistance (hereinafter referred to as the benefit) is given to the eligible Bru persons or eligible family members of the Bru persons (hereinafter referred to as the beneficiary) through the State Government Institutions, viz. the Collectors and District Magistrates/Deputy Commissioners concerned (hereinafter referred to as the Implementing Agency);

(a) in case of poor fingerprint quality, iris scan or face authentication facility shall be adopted for authentication, thereby the Ministry through its Implementing Agency shall make provisions for iris scanners or face authentication along with finger print authentication for delivery of benefit in seamless manner;
(b) in case the biometric authentication through fingerprints or iris scan or face authentication is not successful, wherever feasible and admissible, authentication by Aadhaar One Time Password or Time-based One-Time Password with limited time validity, as the case may be, shall be offered;
