Maharashtra: Now, property registration dept masks fingerprints on sale deeds & rental agreements

The state property registration department in India has started masking fingerprints and Aadhaar numbers on scanned copies of sale deeds and rental agreements to prevent Aadhaar-linked fraud. This move comes after receiving advice from the Unique Identification Authority of India. Previously, fraudsters were collecting fingerprints and Aadhaar numbers by downloading documents from government websites. In the last three months, over 8 lakh documents have had their fingerprints and Aadhaar numbers masked. This measure is aimed at protecting people's privacy and security.
