Why in News? 

The Haryana Parivar Pehchan Authority has issued strict regulations regarding the sharing of family ID data.  

• These new regulations define the conditions under which family information from the Family Information Data Repository can be shared with government entities while protecting individual privacy. 

Key Points 

• Purpose of Data Sharing: The shared data can only be used for government programs, recruitment verification, and public service benefits. 
• Restricted Data Sharing: The data can only be shared with 'Eligible State Instrumentality,' which includes the Central government, the Haryana state government, statutory authorities, universities, boards, corporations, and other government-controlled agencies. 
• Family Identification: Each family will receive an eight-digit Family ID, which will be linked to essential records such as birth, death, and marriage certificates. 
  • The Family ID will be updated automatically whenever a life event such as birth, death, or marriage occurs. 
• Integration with Government Schemes: The database will be linked to various independent schemes, including scholarships, subsidies, and pensions, ensuring consistency and accuracy in beneficiary selection. 
• Automatic Beneficiary Selection: The data in the PPP database will determine eligibility, allowing automatic self-selection for government benefits. 
• Elimination of Repeated Documentation: Once authenticated and verified, beneficiaries will no longer need to submit separate documents for different schemes. 

Note: The PPP initiative is a significant step towards digital governance and aims to simplify access to government welfare schemes for the residents of Haryana.
