The court appointed committee said, We had held a meeting on November 28 with the joint secretary in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to discuss various issues, including procurement of fake licenses and how to eliminate it.
The report said, On the issue of fake licenses, joint secretary informed that NIC (national informatics centre) is now preparing `Sarthi-4` under which all the licenses would be linked to Aadhaar. The government will make linking of Aadhaar number compulsory for key managerial personnel and directors in regulatory filings under the Companies Act.
