Apart from the traditional source of revenue Aadhar should diversify its earning by engaging in other income-generating activities. Hence an attempt has been made to figure out what are the additional sources of income & expected revenue that can be generated from the same.

1. Aadhar
Making Aadhar Financial Model Sustainable
By Saurabh Jawade
Head of Finance Department
Team Kalam

2. Overview - Aadhar
Aadhar is considered as the proof of residence and identity across the country
GoI is Using JAM Trinity (Jan Dhan, Aadhar, Mobile) to weed out the corruption &
Leakages, and provide transparent & accountable system to transfer the subsidy in the
form of DBT, to account directly.
Out of every Rs. 100 /- only ~ Rs. 21/- was reaching the poor, hence there’s scope to
gain the revenue and make the model sustainable while addressing the concerns raised
by the court regarding privacy, surveillance, and Exclusion of the genuine beneficiary.

3. Understanding the problem
Item 1
Current Revenue model is
not enough to keep the
model running for long
without government
support
Existing model lack
efficiency & technology
and is corrupt.
Item 2
Changes that can be
brought into the existing
model that could make it
self sustainable
Looking for other sources
of revenue
Item 3
Improved technological
capability leads to
decrease in cost
Technological changes
improve - the bottom line,
incremental cashflow,
better customer services,
enhance capability

5. Understanding the market - Finding the
sources of Revenue

6. Total Population of India- ~140 Crore.
Total Population enrolled in Aadhaar System- ~125 Crore
Size of my target audience- ~15 Crore
By 2050 India’s population will be ~170 cr (www.worldpupulationreview.com)
By introducing the scheme of updating the address & id every 20 years, will make ~125
Crore our targeted segment in 20 years.
Charge only Rs. 10/- to make such changes.
Charges for updating mobile/email: Rs. 2/- (Chatbot/AI will make it easier)
Can be done seamlessly by application of technology and partnering with professional

7. Target Segment
Aadhar Enrollment Centers:
Currently Aadhar enrollment is being
dong through banks, charging
minimum of Rs. 50/- for new issue
and making any changes Rs. 20/-
“Technology can help in improving
the reach to targeted 15 crore
population by next year”

8. Technological
Changes Required -
Chatbot/AI at
mobile/web module
Customer Service Management
- Chatbot/AI can help in improving
the reach to the population
- Through interactive modules anyone
can book an appointment with
bank/office to enroll in aadhar
- Chatbot will ask for the general
details like name, age, id, etc. which
will be updated to the server
automatically
- Time will be scheduled with the
office like 1 pm to 1.30 pm on
particular date/day
- So at center just verification of the
documents will be done
- Mobile/Email updates cost will be
negligible

9. Technological
Changes Required -
Chatbot/AI at
mobile/web module
Customer Service Management
- This can be used to solve the queries
like documents required, updating
the mobile number & emial id,
dependents, addresses etc.
- Will do away with the need of
keeping the customer support system
at the backent.
- Eg:- Haptik chatbot takes on Dream
11’s IPL game, which help handle
80% of cases with AI/Chatbot,
reduced the average time of
resolving issue to 32 second.
- As by interacting, problem will be
already registered automatically

Maintenance Cost for 5 years Rs. 50 Crore
Total Cost Rs. 250 Crore
Outsourced to AWS Amazon Lex chatbot services provided by Amazon
This technology will reduce the burden on the system, improve the efficiency and reduce the corruption
as time & date will be scheduled prior to visiting the place.
Bank can be the outlet, as there’s less chance of corruption - e-receipt, online payment is easier, etc.

14. Source - Taxes
“Only 1.5% pay income tax”
Currently government made linking of Aadhaar
with PAN mandatory for Income Tax filing
This has saved considerable resources, time and
money of the government
CBDT should pay Nominal Premium of Rs. 2/-
for each IT payer
Income in perpetuity every year from this could
be:
1.9 Cr x 2 = Rs. 3.8 Cr ~ Rs. 4 Crore

This will help make the organization self sustaining and Independent

16. Target Source -
Digital/Online Loan
Lately Aadhar made verification of the
Individual applying for the loan easier and
much more faster & efficient.
Hence Aadhar should charge private
players, banks, etc. for verifying the
identity which made this market possible.

17. Target Source - Others/Misc
Consulting
● Aadhar Should consider leveraging the
expertise gained and knowledge acquired
● Start consulting services to other
countries who are engaged in such
projects or wants to, & entered into
MoU, LoI, etc.
● Display the success stories and inclusion
achieved through the Aadhar
Revenue form Ad
Should leverage the reach to display the
advertisement of the government
Explain the benefits of the schemes, creating
awareness, etc.
