Multi-Utility Card
Identity cards issued by MHA are for officials to enter MHA notified buildings. No official identity smart cards are issued by respective departments for the employees. Currently, 50 lakhs+ (approx.) are central government employees, and 50 lakhs (approx.) pensioners carry various identity cards for different purposes i.e. I Cards, CGHS, etc. Hence it is proposed to have a single contactless (smart card) as the common card for various purposes – also known as a multi-utility card.
